    • BW. The data transmission rate on the connection between the cluster and its client network.

    • IOPS. The number of I/O operations per second on the connection between the cluster and its client network.

    • Latency. The time needed to perform an I/O operation on the connection between the cluster and its client network.

  2. Open Cluster button. Opens the Cluster's VMS in another browser tab.

On the Clusters Table tab you can display the following columns:

ID

The ID of the cluster.

Name

The name of the cluster.

Physical Space

The amount of physical capacity on the cluster.

Physical Space Used

The amount of physical capacity in use on the cluster.

Region

If the cluster is a VAST on Cloud cluster, this column displays the AWS region where the cluster resides.

State

The state of the cluster:

  • INIT. Initializing the cluster.

  • ACTIVATING. The cluster is being activated.

  • ONLINE. The cluster is online.

  • DEACTIVATING. The cluster is being deactivated.

  • OFFLINE. The cluster is offline.

  • FAILED. The cluster has failed.

  • UNKNOWN. MCM is unable to detect the cluster state.
