6.4.1 Info Perspective

The Info perspective is common to many elements within the Oracle VM Manager Web Interface. This perspective always shows the individually configured parameters for an item that is currently selected in the navigation tree. Some of these configured parameters may be automatically populated through a discovery process, while others may have been configured manually during the creation of the object that is selected.

This perspective includes information reported by the NFS File Server based on information returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in in use. Some fields may not be populated, if the plug-in does not support them. The information and fields available may vary depending on the plug-in that you are using. The Generic File Server plug-in returns the following information:

  • File Server Name: The configured name for the file server.

  • Description: The configured description for the file server.

  • Storage Name: The storage server controller name specified when the storage server was created. Uniquely identifies the correct controller if the storage server manager supports multiple controllers.

  • Status: The status of the file server as reported by the file server.

  • Validated: Whether or not the file server has been validated by Oracle VM Manager. No special storage operations supported by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in may occur until the storage server is validated by Oracle VM Manager.

  • Storage Plug-In: The name of the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in that is used to connect to the file server.

  • Storage Plug-In Version: The version number of the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in used to connect to the file server.

  • Plug-in Private Data: Additional parameters passed to the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Total Size (GiB): The total size, in GiB, reported by the file server.

  • Free Size (GiB): The available free size, GiB, reported by the file server.

  • Used Size (GiB): The amount of used space, in GiB, reported by the file server.

Additional fields may be listed to indicate the support status for various storage related functions as reported by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in in use.
