The bottom number indicates the total number of VMs, hosts, or volumes in the system.

Under Metrics, a bar graph displays the total number of VMs and hosts with critical and warning alerts for any monitored metric.

For the Volume summary, Metrics displays a bar graph of the total number of volumes with critical and warning alerts for any metrics. In the bar graph, red is the total number of critical alerts and yellow is the number of warning alerts.

For example, if there are 3 critical alerts and 5 warning alerts, then both critical and warning display in the gauge. If the number of critical alerts is greater than 9, only the red bar (critical) displays because the maximum value of the gauge is 10.

To view details about the resources that exceed the defined critical or warning thresholds, click the number link in the information gauge chart or bar graph.

Saving Ratio by Storage System report

The Saving Ratio by Storage System report provides a breakdown of the capacity saved through data reduction functions such as controller-based compression, deduplication, and accelerated compression.

Using this report, you can monitor the amount and ratio of capacity saving in a pool or per storage system.

This report applies to VSP 5000 series, VSP E series, VSP G1x00, VSP Gx00 models, VSP F series, and VSP N series .

If any of the data reduction functions are enabled, the pool capacity categories (total capacity, used capacity, and free capacity) displayed in the capacity reports indicate the values after capacity saving. If the pool contains a parity group for which accelerated compression is enabled, then the values before compression are displayed.

To check the capacity of a pool containing an FMC drive, you typically also need to check the physical capacity. However, if the pool is set up to automatically add pool volumes in these storage systems, you only need to check the physical capacity.

The supported storage systems also allow the addition of pool volumes automatically (according to the compression ratio of the parity group) when Autoexpansion is enabled.
