Storage Systems

The Storage Systems view displays the storage systems details associated with a FlashSystem grid.

Storage Systems

You can click the Storage Systems option in the navigation panel to view the storage systems details associated with a FlashSystem grid. The Storage System panel displays the details of storage systems in a tabular view. The default columns are:
  • Storage systems: Specifies the name of the storage system. When a user clicks a storage system name, the storage system overview page is displayed along with a side navigation that allows users to get the details of associated resources with the selected storage system.
  • Partitions: Specifies the total number of partitions that are associated with a storage system.
  • Active migration: Specifies whether a storage system has an active migration running. A storage system can have only one active migration at a time. Partitions, which have migration status as in progress, awaiting user input, or aborting are considered as active migrations.
  • Volume groups: Specifies the volume group count for a storage system.
  • Used capacity: Specifies the storage system used capacity.
  • Snapshots: Specifies whether volume groups that are associated with storage system have snapshots. Possible values are Yes or No.
  • Control access: Specifies whether IBM Storage Insights orchestrator permission is available.
  • System UUID: Specifies the unique system ID.
  • System type: Specifies the system type.
  • Vendor: Specifies the vendor of the system.
  • Firmware: Specifies the version of the storage system firmware.
The column chooser option is available to display and hide columns in the tabular view.
Important: When adding the first storage system associated with a FlashSystem grid to IBM Storage Insights, allow a 10-minute interval after the initial successful probe of the storage system before accessing the FlashSystem grid overview page in the modern UI. During this period, the FlashSystem grid data is updated in the database. Accessing the FlashSystem grid overview page within this interval does not display any information about the FlashSystem grid.
