6.8.1 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 usually includes the following information depending on what information is returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in:

  • Storage Name: The name of the storage array as returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Storage Type: The type of storage array as returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Description: The configured description for the storage array.

  • SAN Server's Storage Description: The description returned for the storage array as returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Status: The status of the storage array as returned by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Validated: Whether or not the storage array 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 used to access the storage array.

  • Storage Plug-In Version: The version number of the SOracle VM Storage Connect plug-in used to access the storage array.

  • 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 Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Free Size (GiB): The available free space, in GiB, reported by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

  • Used Size (GiB): The amount of used space, in GiB, reported by the Oracle VM Storage Connect plug-in.

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.
