Summary of Memory Use

The total system physical memory is displayed at the top of this area. To the left is a pie-chart showing memory usage by component. To go to the Analytics worksheet for dynamic memory usage broken down by application name, click the Memory pie-chart.

Table 26  Summary of Pool Usage
Summary Pool Usage
Used
Space used by this pool including data and snapshots.
Avail
Amount of physical disk space available. Space available for file data (as reported in the Shares screen) will be less than this, due to the consumption of filesystem metadata.
Free
Amount of space available, within the LUN capacity, less unused space that is reserved by projects and shares within a pool. Provides the free disk space available when disk space is allocated by reservation in advance and/or when LUNs are created.
Compression
Current compression ratio achieved by this pool. Ratio will display 1x if compression is disabled.
Dedup
Current data deduplication ratio achieved by this pool. Ratio will display 1x if data deduplication is disabled.
Table 27  Summary of Main Memory Usage
Summary of main memory (RAM) usage
Cache
Bytes in use by the filesystem cache to improve performance.
Unused
Bytes not currently in use. After booting, this value will decrease as space is used by the filesystem cache.
Mgmt
Bytes in use by the appliance management software.
Other
Bytes in use by miscellaneous operating system software.
Kernel
Bytes in use by the operating system kernel.

Note that users need the analytics/component create+read authorization to view the memory usage. Without this authorization, the memory details do not appear on the Dashboard.
