View the NVMe dashboard

Unisphere provides monitoring and management for NVMe/TCP directors, NVMe/TCP ports, NVMe/TCP endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

Prerequisites

The NVME tab is only enabled if there are NVMe/TCP Protocol enabled ports configured on the storage system.

About this task

See Understanding NVMe/TCP for an overview of NVMe/TCP.

The NVMe dashboard provides you with a graphical view of the relationship between an NVMe/TCP director and its associated NVMe/TCP ports, NVMe/TCP endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes. From the dashboard, you can navigate to monitor and manage NVMe/TCP directors, NVMe/TCP ports, NVMe/TCP endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

To view the NVMe dashboard:

Steps

  1. Select a storage system running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079).
  2. Select System > iSCSI+NVMe and click the NVME tab to open the NVMe dashboard.
    The following panels display:
    • NVMe/TCP Directors—A panel displaying the following:
      • The overall number of and relationships between the NVMe/TCP objects - NVMe/TCP Directors, unattached NVMe/TCP endpoints, attached NVMe/TCP endpoints, NVMe/TCP Ports, IP Routes, and IP Interfaces. Clicking an item opens the associated list view.
      • The list of NVMe/TCP directors - the status of the NVMe/TCP director is represented by an icon that is based on the alerts for the director. Clicking All Items results in the relationship panel displaying all NVMe/TCP Directors. Selecting a specific director results in an update to relationship panel to display director information for the selected director.
    • Actions—A panel with the following controls:
    • NVMe/TCP Alerts—A panel is displayed listing the latest alerts, the associated object, description, and creation date/time. Click View All to view all alerts. The following properties display:
      State The state of the alert
      Severity The severity of the alert
      Type The alert type
      Description The description of the alert
      Created Date/time that the alert was created.
      Acknowledged The date and time that the alert was acknowledged.
