Monitoring HDFS Transparency status using IBM Storage Scale GUI

The IBM Storage Scale GUI can be used to monitor the state of the HDFS NameNodes and DataNodes. For CES HDFS integration with the IBM Storage Scale GUI, the GUI displays CES specific information like CES status, CES network states, CES node group, CES network address.

To access to CES HDFS information through GUI:
  1. Log in to the IBM Storage Scale GUI to access the CES HDFS state information.
  2. From the left hand side navigation, click Services.
  3. Click HDFS Transparency service.

    The HDFS Transparency services contain the NameNodes, DataNodes and Events tab that contains the information about the HDFS Transparency cluster node states.

    Note: When a protocol is enabled, it will be on all the nodes that are configured to be a protocol node. However, only the nodes specified as the NameNode(s) will be enabled as CES HDFS nodes.

    Therefore, the HDFS Transparency NameNodes list might be less than the overall nodes listed in the CES Nodes service panel.
