TABLE 8-1 Mouse-Over Values on the Status at a Glance Panel

Value Displayed

Description


This mouse-over value determines the following:

  • The node in which the disk resides is: 112.
  • The disk identifier is: 112:1.
  • The status of the disk is online: OK.
  • Twenty five percent of the disk storage space is used.

This mouse-over value determines the following:

  • The node in which the disk resides is: 103
