vSAN File Services
The VMware administrator uses the
vSAN File Services
dashboard
to monitor the file services running in their vSAN environment.Design Considerations
This dashboard is designed to complement
the vSAN file services management provided by the
vCenter Server
. The vCenter Server
is more of an administrative tool, while VMware Aria
Operations
is more of an
operations tool. Each tool performs their specific functions and does not duplicate
information.How to Use the Dashboard
- File Shares by Used Space and Latency.
- Review the file shares by used space and latency heat map.
- It shows all the file shares in your environment.
- The greater the use (consumption), the greater the box, so you can easily see the most consumed ones.
- The file shares are colored by latency. You must watch out for boxes with red color.
- vSAN Clusters with File Services activated.
- It lists all the vSAN clusters with file services activated, giving a convenient view to see which clusters have these settings turned on.
- Select a vSAN cluster from the vSAN clusters with file services activated table.
- The file servers in the selected vSAN cluster are shown. When you select a file server, it filters the file shares list to show the file shares in the selected file server.
- The file shares in the selected vSAN cluster are shown. Selecting a file share displays all the relevant KPI on the file share.
Points to Note
