Viewing dashboard capacity charts

Monitor the storage usage of your storage systems, pools, and volumes.

About this task

Use the capacity charts at the top of the Overview page to see how much capacity is available and how much capacity is provisioned and used by your standard-provisioned and thin-provisioned volumes. If the storage system supports data reduction techniques, such as compression, drive compression, deduplication, and thin-provisioning, the savings are calculated and shown in the chart.

Procedure

  1. Click Dashboards > Operations.
  2. Select a storage system.
  3. Click three dots menu on the Usable Capacity chart and choose one of the following options:
    1. Click View capacity by pool to get a breakdown of storage usage and the monthly growth rate for used capacity.
    2. Click View capacity by volume to get a breakdown of the capacity, the used and available capacity for each volume.
  4. Capacity Savings chart shows the total capacity of all the volumes and the capacity savings after data reduction in both the capacity value and as a ratio.
    1. Click View more to get a summary and chart of the capacity savings that includes deduplication, thin provisioning, drive compression, pool compression, and total compression.
