Volumes window

Opens the Storage Efficiency dialog box, which you can use to manually start deduplication or to abort a running deduplication operation. This button is displayed only if deduplication is enabled on the storage system.

This option is not available for Infinite Volumes with storage classes.

Quality of Service

Opens the Quality of Service dialog box, which you can use to assign one or more volumes to a new or existing group policy.

This option is not available for Infinite Volumes.

Move

Opens the Move Volume dialog box, which you can use to move volumes from one aggregate or node to another within the same Storage Virtual Machine (SVM).

Protect by

Provides the list of data protection features that you can use to back up your data, including the following:

•

Mirror

The mirror option is not available for Infinite Volumes that are associated with storage classes.

•

Vault

The vault option is not available for Infinite Volumes.

Refresh

Updates the information in the window.

Volume list

The volume list displays the volume name and storage information about each volume.

Name

Displays the name of the volume.

Aggregate

Displays the name of the aggregate.

Status

Displays the status of the volume.

Thin Provisioned

Displays whether space guarantee is set for the selected volume. Valid values for online volumes are Yes and No.

Type

Displays the type of volume: rw for read/write, ls for load sharing, or dp for data protection.

Root volume

Displays whether the volume is a root volume.

% Used

Displays the amount of space (in percentage) that is used in the volume.

Available Space

Displays the available space in the volume.

Total Space

Displays the total space in the volume. This includes space that is reserved for Snapshot copies.

Storage Efficiency

Displays whether deduplication is enabled or disabled for the selected volume.

Group Policy

Displays the name of the Storage QoS group policy to which the volume is assigned.

Clone

Displays whether the volume is a FlexClone volume.

Details area

The area below the volume list contains four tabs that display detailed information about the selected volume.

Details tab

Displays general information about the selected volume, such as the maximum and current file count on the volume, group policy to which the volume is assigned, and export policy. The tab also displays whether the Infinite Volume is associated with storage classes.

Space Allocation tab

Displays the allocation of space in the volume.

•

Bar graph

Displays, in graphical format, details about the volume space.

•

Volume

Displays the total data space of the volume and the space reserved for Snapshot copies.

•

Available

Displays the amount of space that is available in the volume for data and for Snapshot copies, and the total space available in the volume.

•

Used

Displays the amount of space in the volume that is used for data and for Snapshot copies, and the total volume space that is used.

The Space Allocation tab displays different information, depending on whether the volume is configured for NAS or SAN. For a NAS volume, the tab displays the following information:

•	Used data space

•	Available data space

•	Used Snapshot reserve space

•	Available Snapshot reserve space (this is applicable only if the Snapshot reserve is greater than zero)

For a SAN volume, the tab displays the following information:

•	Space used by data in LUNs

•	Available space

•	Space used by Snapshot copies

Snapshot Copies tab

Displays, in tabular format, the Snapshot copies of the selected volume. This tab contains the following command buttons:

•

Create

Opens the Create Snapshot Copy dialog box, which enables you to create a new Snapshot copy of the selected volume.

•

Rename

Opens the Rename Snapshot Copy dialog box, which enables you to rename a selected Snapshot copy.

•

Delete

Deletes the selected Snapshot copy.

•

Restore

Restores the Snapshot copy.

•

Refresh

Updates the information in the window.

Storage Efficiency tab

Displays information in the following panes:

•

Bar graph

Displays, in graphical format, the volume space used by data and Snapshot copies. You can view details about the space used before and after applying storage efficiency savings.

•

Details

Displays information about deduplication properties, including whether deduplication is enabled on the volume, the deduplication status, and the current schedule. Space savings resulting from compression and deduplication applied on the data on the volume are also displayed.

•	Last run details

Provides details about the last-run deduplication operation on the volume.

Data Protection tab

Displays data protection information related to the volume.

If the source volume (read/write) is selected, the tab displays all the mirror and vault relationships related to the destination volume. If the destination volume (DP) is selected, the tab displays the relationship with the source details:

•	Destination Storage Virtual Machine

Displays the SVM that contains the volume to which data is mirrored or vaulted in a relationship.

•	Destination Volume

Displays the volume to which data is mirrored or vaulted in a relationship.

•	Is Healthy

Displays the health of a relationship as Good or Bad.

•	Relationship State

Displays the state of the relationship as Snapmirrored, Uninitialized or Broken Off.

•	Transfer Status

Displays the relationship status such as Idle, Transferring, or Aborting.

•

Type

Displays the type of relationship as Vault or Mirror.

•

Lag Time

Displays the difference between the current time and the timestamp of the Snapshot copy that was last transferred successfully to the destination storage system. It indicates the time difference between the data that is currently on the source system and the latest data stored on the destination system. The value that is displayed can be positive or negative. The value is negative if the time zone of the destination system is behind the time zone of the source storage system.

•

Policy

Displays the SnapMirror policy that is assigned to the relationship.

Note: If the clusters in a peer relationship are not managed by System Manager or if the credentials are invalid, then the Data Protection tab does not display the data protection relationships.
