Containers

To display the Containers page, click Storage → Containers. This page displays the total number of containers ( Number of Containers) and the container path ( Container Path: /containers). On this page, you can perform the following tasks:

  • Create — Create new containers
  • Edit — Edit existing containers
  • Delete — Delete existing containers
  • Display Statistics — Display container, connection, and replication statistics

The Containers page also displays a Containers summary table that displays the following types of container-related information:

  • Containers — lists containers by name
  • Files — lists the number of files in each container
  • Marker Type — lists the marker type that supports your DMA

  • Access Protocol — lists the connection type/access protocol per container:
    • Network File System (NFS)
    • Common Internet File System (CIFS)
    • Rapid Data Access (RDA)
    • Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP) (for VTL containers)
    • Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) (for VTL containers)
  • Replication — lists the current replication state per container:
    • Not Configured

    • Stopped
    • Disconnected
    • Trying to Connect

  • NOTE: For newly created OST or RDS containers, the Replication status displays N/A. When replication data has been deleted from an existing OST or RDS container, the Replication status also displays N/A. For existing containers that are in the process of deleting a large amount of data, the Replication status displays Marked for Deletion to indicate that the data deletion process has not yet completed.
  • NOTE: Use Select to identify the container on which you want to perform an action. For example, click Select, and click Display Statistics to display the Container Statistics page for the container you selected.
