Storage
The Storage Tab displays detailed information on physical and logical disks associated with the system being monitored. Physical disk attributes reported include vendor information, device ID, SCSI ID, and size. Logical disk attributes reported include name, size, space allocation, and utilization.
- SMART Drive Pre-Failure Monitoring
Directly attached disk drives that are SMART capable are checked daily. Supported disk technologies include P-ATA, S-ATA, SCSI and FC. The administrator can be notified of bad disk drives before they fail and potentially lose data. Notification of a bad SMART status (Pending failure) is done via the notification options configured for the drive.
The Storage Details tab visually shows physical drive status. A physical drive in the warning state (amber colored) is pending failure and has reported a bad SMART status.
