Node details

The Nodes page in the IBM Storage Fusion HCI System user interface provides information about nodes and their health status.

From the IBM Storage Fusion HCI System menu, click Infrastructure > Nodes. The Nodes page provides the details of the nodes in a table format. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Name, Hardware status, Type, Firmware level, Serial number, Rack name, Rack Unit number, CPU cores, and Memory (GB) details. Use the Search field to filter and find records. The settings icon helps you to customize the column headings of these tables. Decide the number of records per page by using the Items per page drop-down list of the table. You can traverse to the previous or next page views. Select a number from the drop-down list of the page numbers to jump to a specific page view.

Click the node name link that you want to manage. It opens Nodes page that includes the front and rear graphical view, recent events, and other details of the node and its internal components. Select Front and Back in the Components section to see front and back views of the node and hover over a graphical view to check internal components and their status. To debug further, click the internal component that is in red color. It opens a new slide out pane and provides more details about the drives and adapters.

The following picture shows an example of a front and rear views of the compute storage node.

Click View table to check all internal components and its status in the table format. It opens Components table page that includes Storage Drives, OS Drives, Ports, CPUs, and DIMMs in five tabs.
Component Details
Storage drives It displays a list of storage drives. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Name, Slot, Status, Type, and Total Capacity (GB).
OS drives It displays a list of OS drives. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Name, Slot, Status, Type, and Total Capacity (GB).
Ports It displays a list of ports. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Slot, Status, Speed (Gbps), Network address, Adapter, Bond, and Connected to details.
CPUs It displays a list of CPUs. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Name, Health, State, Cores, Threads, and Clock speed (MHz).
DIMMs It displays a list of DIMMs. The column headers that are displayed by default in the table are Slot, Status, Serial number, Type, and Capacity.
Click View all in the Recent events panel to go to the events page and view all recent events on the hardware component.
Note: The recent events pane includes details of the last five events that occurred for the node.
