Centera Viewer CLI command "show protection" will show the current protection scheme

Config# show prot

                   Write         Fallback
------------------------------------------
Mirror             0 B           -
Parity             disabled      -
------------------------------------------

The above shows the protection scheme is mirroring else Parity (CPP) would be enabled and showing a threshold where anything larger than the threshold would be written in parity.  Small objects (250KB or less) should always be written in Mirroring (CPM)

The CLI command show protection will show whether the cluster is configured for CPP or CPM

Use the CLI command:Syntax

Use

This command displays information on the content protection scheme in use.

The output descriptions are as follows:

Mirror

Parity
Content Protection Parity.

If its a CPM then the parity will be disabled ?

so what about the below cluster ;

                   Write         Fallback

------------------------------------------

Mirror             0 B           -

Parity             250 KB        Mirror

------------------------------------------

Thnx

In this cluster objects over 250K will be written as parity. If there are not 8 nodes with enough capacity to store the object, then the write will fallback to mirror.

All objests less than 250K will be writen as mirrored.

If you are on the email list to receive the daily health reports, you can also find this information in the health report.

Protection Scheme(s):   CPP,CPM  

Protection Threshold(s):      256000,0 

In this case, you have CPP with mirrored fallback and a 256K threshold.
