    • IOPS

    • MS. Latency measured in MS.

  5. The most recently sampled value of every performance metric.

  6. The used logical capacity of the cluster and the total logical capacity of the cluster, in the given units. For example, "TB capacity" means the logical capacity is quoted in TB. The bar gives a visual representation of the used logical capacity over the total logical capacity.

  7. The cluster's license status.

  8. The synchronization state between the on-premises VMS and VAST Uplink:

    • Synced. The data displayed was recently updated.

    • Out of sync. The data displayed is old data that was captured earlier and may not reflect the current state.

  9. The number of alarms currently present on the cluster. The alarms are categorized by the alarm severity as Critical, Major, or Minor, Hover over the icon to see the number of alarms by category.

  1. Click the Back to clusters icon Backtoclusters.png, to go toggle between viewing a single cluster or all the clusters, if multiple clusters are present.

  2. Sync status, which shows you the synchronization state between the on-premises VMS and Uplink Services.

  3. VAST Uplink title, which tells you that you are viewing the Uplink user interface.

  4. Click Local VMS to open the login page for the local VMS portal. You will need to have login credentials to login to the local VMS. The Local VMS link will only function if your logged in device is within your VPN/local network.

  5. Click Documentation to view the documentation for the VMS.

You can now:

  • View all of the information on the cluster dashboard and navigate the menu and the various pages and view the lists of the various components of the VAST Cluster such as the Element store, and policies for services such as LDAP, Active Directory etc. The same information is displayed as in the VMS VAST Web UI, including Analytics reports, Alarms, Activities, Infrastructure details, Version information, and all Configurations.

    To view the configuration of a specific component such as an alarm, a view, a view policy, provider configuration, etc., click 3dots_menu.png and select View.

  • Create a ticket that refers to any component on any given page. Click 3dots_menu.png and select Create ticket. The Submit Ticket dialog opens with the reference to the component. Complete and submit the ticket. For more information about creating and submitting a support ticket, refer to Creating and Managing Support Tickets in Uplink.
