NetBackup™ Flex Scale Administrator's Guide

Viewing disk details

You can view the details about the disks on the Infrastructure page. To go to the Infrastructure page, use any one of the following options:

  • Use a user account with both Appliance Administrator and NetBackup Administrator role, or a user account with only an Appliance administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale web interface https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN/webui where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Cluster Management > Infrastructure.

  • Use a user account with an Appliance Administrator role to log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console https://ManagementServerIPorFQDN:14161 where ManagementServerIPorFQDN is the public IP address, the FQDN, or the short host name that you specified for the NetBackup Flex Scale management server during the cluster configuration, and then in the left pane click Monitor > Infrastructure.

    Note:

    If you access the NetBackup Flex Scale infrastructure management console by using the short host name from a node, set the DNS settings (name server, domain name, and search domain) or ensure that the entry for mapping the short host name to an IP address exists in the hosts file of the node.

You can view the following information:

  • Name of the disk.

  • Status of the disk:

    • Online: Disk functions normally.

    • Faulted: Disk has hardware issues or is faulty.

    • Excluded: Disk repeatedly goes in a faulted state.

    • Syncing disk: Progress of an ongoing data rebuild operation.

  • Disk space allocated to the storage pool. The file systems are created on this disk space during the initial configuration or when the disks are allocated to the storage pool when nodes are added to the cluster.

    Note:

    The disk space does not reflect the size of the backup data. The total storage that is used for the data is displayed under Storage on the Dashboard.

  • Total disk size.

  • Storage pool the disk is allocated to.

  • ID of the physical hard disk that corresponds to the logical disk.

  • Nodes that can access the disk.

To view detailed information about a disk, click the disk name. You can view the following additional information:

  • Serial number.

  • Vendor ID.

  • File system that is created on the disk.

  • Node the disk resides on and the path of the disk on the node. The path is displayed in node@path format. For example, pbnso01@/dev/sdh where pbnso01 is the name of the node and sdh is the name of the disk.
