Callout Description Containers for storage resources (disk space, processing power, and network bandwidth). A pool can have one or more members assigned to it. A group can provide both block and file access to storage data. Access to block-level storage requires direct iSCSI access to PS Series arrays (iSCSI initiator). Access to file storage requires the FS Series NAS appliance using NFS or SMB protocols and the Dell FluidFS scale-out file system. With storage data management features, you can: • Manage a group through several built-in mechanisms such as ssh, serial line, telnet, and web-based user interfaces. You do not need an external management station or management software. • Configure the system to alert you to management activity or problems through log files, SNMP traps, and email notification • Add more arrays (up to 16) to a group to increase capacity and performance • Secure data and management access with authorization and authentication mechanisms • Protect storage data with replication and snapshots Borrowed Space Pane The Borrowed Space pane displays information showing whether different objects on your system are using borrowed space and how much space is being borrowed. This information can help you monitor space usage on your system and maintain your max-keep policy. The information appears under the Local Space and Remote Delegated Space tabs (see Table 68. Borrowed Space Pane, Table 69. Local Space Tab, and Table 70. Remote Delegated Space Tab for more details). The panel at the top shows the most general information. The lower panels show more specific information. The pie charts, tables, and bullet graphs in each panel show the same type of information. The links in the Activities pane change depending on what is selected under the tab. Table 68. Borrowed Space Pane Tab Local Space Description Displays borrowing information for the following objects that can borrow space: • Snapshots - Total amount of space borrowed for snapshots (middle table) and the amount of space each volume's snapshots are borrowing (bottom table) • Replica sets - Total amount of space borrowed on this partner for inbound replica sets (middle table) and the amount of space each volume's replica set is borrowing (bottom table) • Local replicas - Total amount of space borrowed for local replicas of outbound replica sets (middle table) and the amount of space each volume's local replicas are borrowing (bottom table) • Deleted volumes - Total amount of space borrowed for deleted volumes (middle table) and the amount of space each deleted volume is borrowing (bottom table) Remote Delegated Space Displays borrowing information for the following objects that can borrow space: • Replica sets - Total amount of space borrowed on the secondary partner for outbound replica sets (top table) and the amount of space each replica set is borrowing (bottom table) Table 69.
