You can view the hardware, storage, firmware, power monitoring, warranty, and system event log information about all the OMIVV-managed hosts on the OMIVV Host Information page.

On the OMIVV home page, expand Menu, and then select Hosts and Clusters.
In the left pane, select a host, and then click Monitor > OMIVV Host Information.

View storage information of a host

You can view the count of Virtual Disks, Controllers, Enclosures, and associated Physical Disks with the Global Hot Spares, and Dedicated Hot Spare. To view more information about each of the storage components, from the View drop-down menu, select the specific component.

For hosts managed using chassis, the complete storage information that is Controller, Enclosures, Global Hot Spare, and Dedicated Hot Spare are not displayed.

NOTE When the hosts are managed by using chassis profile, if you click Storage, and then select the following from the View drop-down menu:

Enclosures—The Controller ID of the storage enclosure is displayed as 0 instead of the correct Controller ID.
Physical Disks—The media type for HDD is displayed as Magnetic Drive instead of Hard Disk Drive.

Capacity—displays the capacity of the virtual drive. Layout—displays the layout type of the virtual storage, which means the type of RAID that was configured for this virtual drive. Media Type—displays either SSD or HDD. To view information such as Stripe Size, Bus Protocol, and Cache Policy, select a virtual disk. Controller ID—displays the controller ID. Device ID—displays the device ID. Stripe Size—displays the stripe size, which is the amount of space that each stripe consumes on a single disk. Bus Protocol—displays the technology that the physical disks in the virtual drive are using. The possible values are: SCSI SAS SATA Default Read Policy—displays the default read policy that is supported by the controller. The options include: Read-Ahead No-Read-Ahead Adaptive Read-Ahead Read Cache Enabled Read Cache Disabled Default Write Policy—displays the default write policy that is supported by the controller. The options include: Write-Back Force Write Back Write Back Enabled Write-Through Write Cache Enabled Protected Write Cache Disabled Cache Policy—displays if cache policy is enabled.
