Drives details

The Drives page on the Cluster tab provides a list of the active drives in the cluster. You can filter the page by selecting from the Active, Available, Removing, Erasing, and Failed tabs.

When you first initialize a cluster, the active drives list is empty. You can add drives that are unassigned to a cluster and listed in the Available tab after a new SolidFire cluster is created.

The following elements appear in the list of active drives.

• Drive ID

  The sequential number assigned to the drive.

• Node ID

  The node number assigned when the node is added to the cluster.

• Node Name

  The name of the node that houses the drive.

• Slot

  The slot number where the drive is physically located.

• Capacity

  The size of the drive, in GB.

• Serial

  The serial number of the drive.

• Wear Remaining

  The wear level indicator.

  The storage system reports the approximate amount of wear available on each solid-state drive (SSD) for writing and erasing data. A drive that has consumed 5 percent of its designed write and erase cycles reports 95 percent wear remaining. The system does not refresh drive wear information automatically; you can refresh or close and reload the page to refresh the information.

• Type

  The type of drive. The type can be either block or metadata.
