EMC Isilon Storage Array

Foglight for Storage Management monitors EMC Isilon clusters. In the interface, clusters are categorized as Storage Arrays, and the nodes are called Member Nodes or simply Members.

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 an Isilon storage array:
1
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Storage & SAN > Storage Explorer.
2
On the navigation panel, under Topology, expand Storage Arrays and select an Isilon cluster.
The Storage Array dashboard opens with details for the selected Isilon cluster.
 
* 
TIP: You can also open this dashboard from the Storage Environment dashboard by selecting an Isilon 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 Storage Explorer’s Summary tab contains the same views as the Storage Environment’s quick view for Isilon storage arrays:
•
Related Inventory. Contains alarm summaries for the selected storage array and its member nodes, external ports, internal ports, pools, and disks.
•
IFS Capacity. The chart displays IFS Capacity: Free and IFS Capacity Used for the IFS file system. In addition, the following metrics pairs are displayed:
- IFS Capacity: Total and IFS Capacity: Free
- IFS Capacity: HDD Total and IFS Capacity: HDD Free

TIP: If you prefer to see the Send Util (% of max) and Rcv Util (% of max) based on the rated maximum speeds of the ports (actual port speeds are not available from Isilon arrays) in the external network, ask your Foglight for Storage Management Administrator to edit the registry variable StSAN_StoragePortShowUtilMax and set ISLN_E_IP=true.
