Filesystem Analytics for Ontap 9.3

shocko — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:51:52 GMT

I'm running OnTap 9.3 and user home directories. I'd like to run some reports on the number of files/folders and counts of each on the volume. Even better if I could see the file types. I see in OnTap 8.3+ that there is some native capability for this as per here File System Analytics overview (netapp.com).

For Ontap 9.3 what could I use? XCP whilst cool seems slow as has to trawl the 2m + files on the share(s).

I'm not sure where you get 8.3 from in that tock. FSA was introduced in 9.8. there's some high level info in the df command - https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/volumes/display-file-inode-usage-task.html.

Though, XCP is probably your best bet at 9.3.

8.3 was a typo and I intended 9.3 so apologies. I will look at the df command. Thanks!
