Viewing the storage on the appliance
After you scan the appliance storage, you can use the Manage > Storage > Show Disk command to view storage details.
To view appliance storage information
- Log on to the Access Appliance shell menu on an appliance node.
- Go to the Manage > Storage view.
- Run the Show Disk command.
The disks that are listed by the Show command are not the physical disks themselves. Rather, they are storage volumes that are made up of specific physical disks in the storage shelf.
Table: Disk (volume) types
Type | Description |
|---|---|
System | The onboard storage that is occupied by the appliance operating system, logs etc. This disk is located in the compute node, and not in the storage shelf. |
Configuration | This volume stores the configuration information. The disk is always located in the Primary Storage Shelf. |
Data | The Access software uses the Data volumes to provision storage. There are five data volumes in the Primary Storage Shelf or each of the Expansion Storage Shelves. |
Fencing | There are five Fencing volumes in the Primary Storage Shelf. The Fencing volumes do not exist in the Expansion Storage Shelves. |
