External storage

Storage management enables you to monitor information about third-party storage systems. The system can manage only a distributed storage system in the current software version.

Multiple interconnecting servers can form a distributed storage system and provide storage services as a whole.

The system can manage ONEStor, Rorke, and XSKY storage resources, but you can add only one storage resource type at a time.

After you add a ONEStor resource to CVM, you can view basic, storage node, storage cluster IOPS, storage cluster bandwidth, and hard disk state information for the resource.
