HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 69)

Using the HP Infrastructure page
The HP Infrastructure page displays information for all storage systems configured in the plug-in’s
environment. The number adjacent to the HP Storage Systems link in the left navigation panel
indicates the number of storage systems that have been configured using the Storage Administrator
Portal. Click on HP Storage Systems to expand the list of configured arrays and backup systems.
The inventory list indicates the type and name of array or backup system. Select an item from the
list to display more information in the center pane. The information displayed is determined by the
type of storage system selected.
TIP: Use the small expand/contract icon to the left of a field to view detailed information.
The infrastructure information is organized into the following sections:
•
Header—The first line of information includes details like health, storage system type, and the
name of the item selected. The standard HP Insight Management icons are also displayed.
The health of the storage system is indicated using color-coded icons. A green icon ( )
indicates that there are no warnings or errors for this storage system. A yellow icon ( ) or
red icon ( ) indicates warnings or errors respectively. Details on the health may be obtained
by logging in to the management console for the storage system.
•
Overview—Displays system information such as the model, serial number, and firmware
version. If an array is selected, the amount of storage provisioned to VMware is displayed. If
the storage system has a web based management console, a link is provided to launch the
management console.
•
System Summary portlet—Displays the number of controllers on the system for arrays. Expand
the controllers to see the names of the individual controllers and ports. For backup systems,
the rolled up status at the cluster level is displayed along with the capacity and the deduplication
ratio. In addition, the configured user and the IP address of the management system, if
applicable, are displayed.
•
Storage Summary portlet—Provides additional details about the storage on the system. For
an array, all the storage pools are listed. Expand each storage pool name to see capacity
information for that storage pool and access level as specified in the Storage Administrator
Portal. For HP 3PAR StoreServ arrays, the RAID value of the CPG and the drive type of the
physical disks are also displayed.
For a StoreOnce backup system, this section displays the service sets in the cluster. Upon
expanding each service set, the rolled up health, serial number, capacity, services, and
deduplication ratio are displayed. Expand the node name to see the primary and the secondary
nodes on which the service set is running. Expand each of the services label to see the status
of the service and the number of backup targets for VTL, NAS, and catalyst services.
