XCP Maximum Values

shirotan — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:05:34 GMT

I ran XCP SCAN with the -stats option.

There was a Maximum Values.

What is the unit of the Dirsize item?
Byte? MByte? Bit? Number of files?

I think this item is necessary to set Maxdir of the destination FAS when designing the migration.

== Maximum Values ==
Size Depth Namelen Dirsize
275GiB 24 245 56654

== Average Values ==
Size Depth Namelen Dirsize
1.55MiB 10 23 11

Hello

That should reflect the number of files within the path specified.

I have listed below couple kb for maxdirsize:

Hello

hmoubara

Thank you for your replay.

But I'm not asking what Maxdir is.

I understand that the DirSize of "Max Value" displayed when scanning with the "-stats" option is the maximum directory size contained in the target to be scanned.

Based on this information, I understand that the FAS MaxDir for the migration target should be set.

Therefore, I would like to know the unit of this number.

The unit is in Kb

Vol show

[-maxdir-size {<integer>[KB|MB|GB|TB|PB]}] - Maximum Directory Size (privilege: advanced)This optionally specifies the maximum directory size. The default maximum directory size is model-dependent, and optimized for the size of system memory. You can increase it for a specific volume by using this option, but doing so could impact system performance. If you need to increase the maximum directory size, work with customer support.
