Introduction

System Dashboard

The center frame of the System Explorer opens to the System Dashboard.

Figure 2. System Explorer View

The Storage Summary displays:

Date and time the summary report was generated

Status: Normal or Space Low. Space Low indicates that you must add storage.

Total disk space: The amount of raw disk space available.

Used disk space: Space used by volumes and replays (blue on the bar graph)

Free disk space: Space available for volumes and replays (gray in the bar graph).

Unhealthy/Bad space (if any) Space found on any unhealthy disks, or any bad space
found on disks which are healthy. This appears only if unhealthy or bad disk space has
been found (black in the bar graph).

A bar graph on the right edge of the window shows the Storage Alert Threshold. If free
space falls below the Low Space Threshold, the System Manager sends an alert,
warning you to add additional disks.

Search function in the lower left provides the ability to search through the system tree
for objects with matching names. A dropdown menu allows filtering objects by type: All
(default), Volumes, Disks, or Servers. A checkbox is provided to match case (default).
Left and right arrows allow you to navigate forward and backward. The arrow to the left
of the search field allows you to minimize/maximize the search panel.
