The Volumes Page

The Volumes page displays information about volumes that are attached to virtual machines (VMs) in the everRun system. To open this page, click Volumes in the left-hand navigation panel of the everRun Availability Console. The Volumes page displays the following columns with information about volumes in the top pane:

• State
• Name
• Disk Synchronization
• Sector Size
• Size
• Bootable
• Storage Group

• Used By, which displays one of the following:

  • A link to a VM when a VM is using the volume.
  • A link to the physical machine (PM) page (node0 or node1) when the volume is root or swap.
  • System for a shared volume (shared.fs) .
  • None when the volume is not a system volume and is not used by a VM.

Click the name of a volume in the top pane of the Volumes page to display additional information about the volume in the bottom pane. (You can also display information about volumes using the snmptable command; see Obtaining System Information with snmptable.) You can perform some administrative tasks on volumes from the bottom pane, including:

• Add a description for each volume in the Description text box.
• Rename a volume (see Renaming a Volume on the everRun System).
• View information about the volume container, including the volumes and snapshots it contains, on the Container tab.
• Expand a volume container on the Container tab (see Expanding a Volume Container on the everRun System).
• Remove a volume by clicking Remove. Note, though, that the Remove button is grayed out when a VM is using a volume.

You perform other volume management tasks from the virtual machines page. These tasks include:

• Attaching a Volume to a Virtual Machine
• Creating a Volume in a Virtual Machine
• Detaching a Volume from a Virtual Machine
• Removing a Volume from a Virtual Machine
