10.2.3 Viewing Component Status in the Storage Dashboard

The Storage Dashboard provides detailed information about the components of the storage space, including local and remote systems, controllers, arrays, logical drives and NVMe SSDs. Occupying the largest portion of the main window in maxView Storage Manager, the Storage Dashboard organizes component information by category, with tabs providing one-click access to summary information and status, properties, resources, and usage statistics.

The information on the Storage Dashboard varies, depending on which component is selected in the Enterprise View. The figure below shows the Storage Dashboard for a controller. Tabs provide access to summary information, controller properties, and resources. The Events tab shows filtered events for the selected device (see Viewing Activity Status in the Event Log).

Note: For information about Chart View, on the right side of the Storage Dashboard, see Viewing Storage Space Usage in Chart View.

The following table lists the categories and types of information provided on the Storage Dashboard for each component in the storage space. All top-level nodes in the Enterprise View (System, Controller, Arrays, Logical Drives, Physical Devices, and so on) include a Summary tab and Events tab.
