Exploring a Storage Array

The Storage Explorer’s Storage Array dashboard contains information about the selected storage array and its child components.

The tabs displayed on the dashboard differ depending on the selected storage array:

•
Non-Clustered Storage Arrays (supported storage arrays except EqualLogic and Isilon)
•
Dell EqualLogic Storage Array
•
EMC Isilon Storage Array
•
EMC VPLEX Storage Array

Non-Clustered Storage Arrays

Most supported storage arrays are displayed as described in this walkthrough. If you are using Dell EqualLogic arrays, EMC Isilon arrays, or EMC VPLEX arrays, see Dell EqualLogic Storage Array, EMC Isilon Storage Array, or EMC VPLEX Storage Array instead.

This walkthrough describes the contents of each of the tabs and points you to where you can drill down for more details. The data displayed reflects values for the selected time range.

To explore storage arrays:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Storage & SAN > Storage Explorer.
2
On the navigation panel, under Topology, expand Storage Arrays and select a storage array.
The Storage Array dashboard opens with details for the selected storage array.
 
* 
TIP: You can also open this dashboard from the Storage Environment dashboard by selecting an EqualLogic storage array and clicking View in Explorer.
3
If the Alarm Count displays alarms, you may want to assess the alarms before continuing with this walkthrough. Click a status count to open a list of device and component alarms. For more information, see Assessing Storage Alarms.
4
In the Summary tab, review performance in terms of key metrics.
The Summary tab contains the same views as the Storage Array Summary (Selected Storage Array) quick view described in Monitoring Storage Arrays. In addition, the tab includes the following views:
•
Summary and Resource Information. Displays physical details about the storage array.
•
Alarm Summary. Displays alarms on the storage array.
5
Click the Controllers-Ports tab.
•
Controllers. The charts display the controllers with the highest average Data Rate, Ops Rate, and % Busy, if available. The table displays current values for each of the charted metrics, plus Latency if available, and the most severe alarm status on the FC ports and IP ports associated with this controller.
•
Ports. Select a controller from the Show Ports for Controller list. The chart will display port utilization distribution, if the array provides the operating link speed of the ports. Otherwise, the Data Rate of the 3 busiest ports will be displayed. The tables will display all available current metrics for each port.
Alarm Summary. Displays alarms on controllers and ports.
To investigate further, click the name of a component:
•
Click an aggregate name. See Investigating an Aggregate.
•
Click an alarm. See Assessing Storage Alarms.
6
Click the Pools tab.
•
Show Top 15/All Pools/Pools w Thin LUNs With … This view lets you quickly see the top fifteen or all LUNs with a selected metric, averaged over the selected time period. The performance metrics that may be available for selection, depending on the array type, include:
•
R/w latency
•
Average queue depth
•
Data rate
•
Ops rate to disk
The capacity metrics that may be available for selection, depending on the array type, include:
•
Least time until full
•
Least or most available usable capacity
•
Least or most available raw capacity
Selecting the time period “for current” shows the LUNs with the worst current metric.
Selecting the time period “last 30 minutes, last hour, last 4 hours” shows the LUNs with the worst average values in that time period. These time periods are available only for performance metrics.
* 
NOTE: The selected timerange looks at the average of values from collections that completed between the time at the end of the zonar, and the selected period before that.
The bars in the Average column show the values of the other items' metric relative to the first (highest) item.
* 
NOTE: Selecting Pools w Thin LUNs is useful for monitoring Pools whose available capacity can change quickly because it contains thin-provisioned LUNs.
Click on a name in the table to display summary details about that item in the details panel below. This panel displays the exact time period of the completed collections in the selected timerange.
* 
NOTE: For Hitachi USP and VSP arrays, only user created Dynamic Provisioning (DP) pools are monitored.
To further investigate the selected item, click “Explore” in the details panel.
•
Alarm Summary. Displays alarms on pools.
To investigate further, click an alarm. See Assessing Storage Alarms.
