How to check live volume for migration

leedm — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 04:41:44 GMT

Hello.
We are planning to migrate from A200 equipment using 9.4 os to new equipment.
Before that, there are more than 100 volumes created on the A200 equipment, but there is nothing organized about what the customer manager actually uses.
So I need to know what server uses volume
A customer representative has checked the ip from the net connections active show-client command, and it is said that there is a server that is actually in service, but the ip has not been extracted by the command.

statistics vol show, qos statistics vol performance show
It is possible to check volume performance with the command, but there may be volumes that generate IO when not monitored, so it will be difficult to check with that method.

Since version is 9.4, there is no volume usage record in GUI,
Is there a way to check other volume usage?
Due to the large number of servers, it is difficult for the person in charge to check the servers daily.

Hello,

Your Volumes are shared by NFS or CIFS, maybe twice ?

And you want to know the "usage" to determine if it' possible to migrate them ?

For the "usage" of hudge volumes you can try ActiveIQUnified manager or easier : NABOX, to have a list of volumes and thier usage

You could look at the volume latency or IOPS in Active IQ ( https://activeiq.netapp.com ) in the performance widget for that node. See this example screenshot.

The active iq cannot be used because smtp is not available.
Is there any other way?

So, it is ActiveIQ Unified Manager, it's a free software from NetApp to mange and made mant many report for all your NetApp

It's just a VM easy to deploy, try to donwload it on support web site

I remember that the active iq unified manager installation test required SMTP server registration on the initial GUI setting screen, didn't I?

Sorry for the late reply, but I don't think SMTP is required. Also, if you are sending AutoSupport over HTTPS then go to the SaaS tool here: https://activeiq.netapp.com .
