Viewing the Status Dashboard
The gateway dashboard provides an overview of the gateway's current status, including the following:
*Disk drive and volume information
*Resource utilization information
*Fan activity and the CPU temperature
*Recent logged events
Note: In addition, the dashboard provides shortcuts to configuring arrays, drives, and volumes.
To view the Status Dashboard:
*In the CONFIGURATION tab, select Main > Dashboard in the navigation pane,
The dashboard displays the following information:
Hard Disk Drives – All disk drives installed on the gateway. For each drive:
*The disk type. Click this link to view additional information about the drive.
*The disk size. Note that you may notice a discrepancy between the disk capacity stated on the disk's packaging and the disk capacity displayed in the gateway dashboard due to the different way GB is calculated, either 1024MB or 1000MB.
*The array to which the disk is assigned.
*The disk status:
Synchronized – This drive is in an array and is in optimal condition.
OK – The drive is not in an array and is in optimal condition.
FAIL – The drive has failed.
Unrecognized – The drive contains unrecognized data. You must format the drive before it can be used.
Inactive – This drive is in an array, but is currently not in use.
Rebuilding – This drive is in an array that is currently being rebuilt.
In Use – The drive is currently in use.
Arrays – All arrays defined on the gateway. For each array:
*The array name and the RAID type. You can click this link to edit the array.
*The array size in GB.
*The array status:
Optimal – The array is in optimal condition.
Degraded – When the array type is RAID1 (Mirroring), the array is accessible and there is no data loss; however, a disk is failed or missing. Performance and reliability may be reduced. Replace the failed drive as soon as possible.
Fail – The array is not accessible.
Recovering – A degraded array is being repaired. The gateway is currently synchronizing out-of-sync members of the array, and performance of the gateway may be reduced. Once the recovery is finished, the array will return to optimal state.
Scrubbing – Data scrubbing is in progress.
Volumes – All volumes defined on the gateway. For each volume:
*The volume name.
*The storage device on which the volume is located. Click on this link to edit the volume.
*The volume's status in the format: Mode [Status]. The mode can be Online or Offline. The status can be:
Key required – The volume is encrypted and requires a key.
Contains errors – The file system needs to be repaired.
Read only – The file system is incompatible with current firmware.
Corrupted – Failed to read the file system status.
Unknown – No file system was found in the volume.
Ready – The volume is ready for use.
Recovering – The file system is being recovered after a non-clean shutdown.
Mounting – Routine cleanup is being performed after a non-clean shutdown.
Formatting – The volume is being formatted.
Converting – The volume is being converted (from EXT3 to NEXT3, or the opposite).
Resizing – The volume is being resized.
Repairing – The volume is being repaired.
Checking – The volume is being scanned for errors.
Checking Quota – The volume's storage quotas are being recalculated.
*A bar representing of the percentage of the volume currently in use, followed by the volume size, followed by the percentage of the volume currently in use.
System Information
*CPU fan activity, reported as a percentage of the fan’s maximum RPM capability.
*CPU temperature, reported in degrees Celsius. The temperature should be between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius.
Last Events – The last few important events in the gateway Event Log. For information on log fields, see the CTERA Edge Filer Administration Guide.
Note: The data is refreshed automatically every few seconds.
