Monitoring

To monitor the status of volumes and volume groups, use the pcloud CLI to see their status.

To see all configured volume-groups:

pcloud compute volume-groups list

This will reflect their status, and if Replication is enabled.

To show the volume group extended description, including volumes which belong to a volume group use:

pcloud compute volume-groups describe <volume-group>

To show the detailed relationship information for a volume group, including the status of each individual volume replication, use:

pcloud compute volume-groups relationship <volume-group>

This output contains a lot of detail, including the progress of the copy and the freeze time for the last change volume. This can be of particular use in investigating the copy status of a volume group. Volumes which are ready for a failover should be in a consistent_copying state.

You can also see the Auxillary volume, master volume, and mirroring state of an individual volume:

pcloud compute volumes describe <volume>
