About checking system status in the dashboard
The HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite dashboard shows a summary
of tasks, alerts, and activities of registered storage systems.
• Storage System Alerts
A list of links for each registered storage system and the associated alerts.
• Datacenter Utilization - Physical capacities
A bar chart that provides volume capacity information for Open-Allocated, Open-Unallocated,
Open-Reserved, Mainframe, and Free. This chart applies to all of the managed storage systems,
collectively. Because capacities are calculated based on actual volume capacities, the capacity
of virtual volumes, such as THP/Smart volumes, is not included.
• Failed Tasks
A list of failed tasks submitted by you or other users. Each item includes the task name, task type,
and description for the failed task. Clicking the task ID link for your tasks allows you to view task
details, including error messages. You may not view task details for tasks you did not submit.
• Top 10 Consumers
A list of the ten hosts having the largest combination of allocated physical and virtual storage ca-
pacity.
• This is reported in the Capacity column as (capacity of basic volumes + reserved capacity of
THP/Smart volumes).
• The Used Capacity column reports (capacity of basic volumes + used capacity of THP/Smart
volumes).
• File System Used Capacity indicates the file system space used by hosts as (the total value
calculated from File system Used % for each volume).
NOTE:
The File System Used Capacity is displayed under the following conditions:
• For hosts that can acquire information by using Host Data Collector or Device Manager agent
For a virtualization server, this value cannot be acquired.
