Dashboard window
The dashboard contains multiple panels that provide cumulative at-a-glance information about your system and its performance. You can use the Dashboard window to view various aspects of your storage management environment, such as space and CPU utilization, the status of storage objects, notifications, system properties, network throughput, and protocol operations.
The available tabs and panels for storage systems running Data ONTAP 7-Mode or 7G are as follows:
•
The System tab, which includes the following panels:
•
Capacity - Displays the storage capacity of the node in terms of the utilized, available, spare, and unowned space.
•
Notifications/Reminders - Displays any notifications or reminders about the issues in the storage system and pending configuration settings reminders. System parameters such as HA status and configuration errors, failed fans and power supplies, disk failure, insufficient spare disks, volume offline, license mismatch on the HA pair, SSL, DNS, and autosupport not configured, licensed CIFs not setup, and disks without ownership are monitored and any notification or reminder raised will be displayed.
•
Aggregates - Displays the total number of aggregates and the number of offline aggregates, if any.
•
Volumes - Displays a graphical view of the maximum space utilization by the volumes.
•
Properties - Displays storage system attributes like model, system ID, Data ONTAP version, how long the system has been running, and compliance clock time.
•
Disks
•
The Performance tab, which includes the following panels:
•
CPU Utilization - Displays a graphical view of the CPU utilization of the storage systems.
•
I/O Throughput - Displays a graphical view of the network throughput and disk throughput.
•
Protocol Ops - Displays the operations per second associated with the CIFS, NFS v3, FC/FCoE, and iSCSI protocols.
•
Protocol Latency - Displays the latency in milliseconds associated with the CIFS, NFS v3, FC/FCoE, and iSCSI protocols.
Monitoring storage systems using the dashboard
The dashboard enables you to monitor the health and performance of storage systems. You can also identify hardware problems and storage configuration issues by using the dashboard.
