Storage configuration and reporting
The Storage section in the GUI navigation panel provides information about disk utilization and also
provides configuration tools to perform physical storage expansion.
Viewing the File System Report
In the Navigator, select Storage. The File System Report tab opens by default. This report provides
details about the storage space usage at the file system level as well as the file system status.
This tab shows free space and used space for a couplet, which added together make up the total storage
space. This tab also shows the current node and the couplet to which the Service Set belongs.
NOTE: Couplet Free and Used Space values are redundantly listed for both Service Sets in each couplet.
Table 41: Storage report parameters
Field Description
Service Set The name of the Service Set.
Current Node The name of the current node serving this Service Set.
Couplet The name of the couplet within the cluster to which this Service Set belongs.
File System Total
Capacity (on the
couplet)
The total available capacity.
File System Free Space
(on the couplet)
The amount of free space. This value will decrease as data gets written to the
appliance and increase when either housekeeping reclaims space or data is
removed from configured stores.
File System Used Space The amount of space that has been used. This value increases as data gets
written on the file system and provides a true measurement of the amount of
space used on the file system.
NOTE: Because some amount of meta data and other overhead is not
maintained or calculated by all service sets or subsystems, the used space
will not exactly equal the total capacity minus the free space. However, the
difference is negligible.
File System Status The status of the file system. See the "File system status and recommended
actions" table for descriptions and recommended actions.
