Dashboard

Once a storage system has been onboarded to Storage Advisor, the dashboard displays

as soon as you log in. The Storage Advisor dashboard provides the tools to easily

configure,

manage, and monitor storage systems.

From the Storage Advisor dashboard, you can access managed resources and provision

storage in the context of a given storage system or server. The provided templates and

configurations

make it possible to quickly and easily provision a storage system, without

knowing the details of the underlying hardware and software.
The top navigation menu provides access to Jobs and Monitoring pages. Links to the

following settings are available, based on the user role:

■

Tier Management

■

Security Settings

■

SNMP Settings

■

Change Local Password

The dashboard has three distinct sections:

■

Resource side panel:

The left pane provides quick access to review the

configuration

of your storage systems, servers, and fabric switches. If the storage system includes

NAS modules, virtual

file

servers can also be accessed.

■

Alert tiles:

Four alert tiles represent various aspects of the health of the storage

system. When Storage Advisor detects a problem with a storage system environment,

a number appears in the tile. The number indicates the number of alerts for that

aspect of the storage system. Click the alert tile to go directly to a summary of the

problems.

■

Resource summary:

The middle area, with the information gauge, provides a

summary of the capacity allocated from the registered storage systems.

Resource side panel

The resource side panel enables quick access to storage systems and to servers.

■

Click

Storage Systems

to view and add storage systems.
