Viewing disk details

You can view details about the disks on the Infrastructure page. To go to the Infrastructure page, in the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface, in the right pane click Monitor, and then click Infrastructure. You can view the following information:

  • Name of the disk.

  • Status of the disk. The disk status is online if the disk functions normally and faulted if the disk has hardware issues or is faulty.

  • Disk space allocated to the storage pool. The file systems are created on this disk space during the initial configuration or when the disks are allocated to the storage pool when nodes are added to the cluster.

    Note:

    The disk space does not reflect the size of the backup data. The total storage that is used for the data is displayed under Storage on the Dashboard.

  • Total disk size.

  • Storage pool the disk is allocated to.

  • Whether the disk is designated as a spare disk.

  • Enclosure the disk belongs to.

  • Nodes that can access the disk.

To view detailed information about a disk, click the disk name. You can view the following additional information:

  • Serial number.

  • Vendor ID.

  • File system that is created on the disk.

  • Node the disk resides on and the path of the disk on the node. The path is displayed in node@path format. For example, pbnso01@/dev/sdh where pbnso01 is the name of the node and sdh is the name of the disk.
