Viewing CLDB Information

Describes how to view CLDB information from the CLDB page, and provides an explanation of each field that the page displays.

The CLDB page on the Control Panel provides information about the Container Location Database (CLDB). The CLDB is a management service that tracks container locations and the root of volumes.

To display the CLDB information page, log in to the Control System and go to the service information page for CLDB. Alternatively, you can use the following links to access the CLDB page:
  • For a secure cluster, access the CLDB view at https://<cldbmaster>:7443/cldb.jsp.
  • For an non-secure cluster, access the CLDB view at http://<cldbmaster>:7221/cldb.jsp.

The CLDB page displays the following information:

Mirrors Information
Description: Contains a link to the Mirrors page, which displays information about volume mirrors:
  • Mirror Volume Name: The name of the mirror volume.
  • Mirror ID: The ID of the mirror volume used for the last successful mirroring. This ID starts with 1 and is incremented by 1 after each mirroring.

  • Mirror SrcClusterName: The source cluster name for the mirror volume.
  • Mirror SrcSnapshot: The source snapshot associated with the mirror volume.
  • Mirror DataGenerator Volume: The first volume that generates data (RW Volume) in the mirror chain.

    For example, if the mirror chain is A > B > C, then at C, the Mirror DataGenerator volume is A while the source volume is B.

  • Mirror DataGenerator snapshot time: The time at which the last snapshot for the Mirror DataGenerator Volume was generated.
Snapshots Information
Description: Contains a link to the Snapshots page, which displays information about snapshots:
  • Snapshot ID: The ID of the snapshot.
