QSLife

This topic applies to XInsight-managed systems running QSM 4.2 or later, XEVO 3.2 or later, or KSM 1.1 or later.

Go to Monitor > QSLife. The QSLife page provides read and write usage information for disks installed in the controller head and endurance information for supported SSDs. It also provides device-wide alert settings for monitoring SSD remaining life.

View Disk Usage and SSD Endurance #

Select a disk from the Disk List to view its usage information.

QSLife displays the following information for the selected disk:

  • Total Read: The total amount of data read from the disk.
  • Total Written: The total amount of data written to the disk.
  • Average Write Rate: The average amount of data written over weekly, monthly, and yearly periods.
  • Remaining Life: The estimated remaining endurance of the SSD.
  • Estimated EOL: The estimated end-of-life date of the SSD.

Note: Remaining Life and Estimated EOL are available only for supported SSDs that provide endurance information. A dash (—) is displayed when the information is not available, such as for HDDs.

View Read/Write Activity #

The Read/Write Activity chart displays the amount of data read from and written to the selected disk over time.

Select one of the following time ranges:

  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Year

Hover over a data point to view the timestamp and the corresponding read and write amounts.

Use the range selector below the chart to adjust the displayed time period. Drag either end of the range selector to narrow or expand the visible time range.

Configure SSD Remaining-Life Alerts #

Click SSD Alert Settings below the Disk List to configure alert thresholds for SSD remaining life.

Note: SSD alert settings apply to all SSDs on the selected storage system, not only to the disk currently selected in the Disk List.

Configure the Information and Warning event levels as required.

Configure an Event Level #

For each event level, configure the following settings:

  • Enabled: Enables or disables the event level.
  • Trigger Threshold (Remaining Life %): Specifies the remaining-life percentage that triggers an event of the corresponding level.
  • Re-alert Interval (%): Specifies the additional percentage decrease in remaining life required before another event of the same level is generated.

When an SSD’s remaining life reaches the configured Trigger Threshold, the system generates an event of the corresponding level.

Before the remaining life reaches the threshold for the next event level, another event is generated each time the remaining-life percentage decreases by the configured Re-alert Interval.

Click OK to apply the settings.
