Documentation of report fields in DFM

skellner — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:37:10 GMT

Hi,

is there any documentation out there that describes the particular report fields in OnCommand. I'm searching especially for the capacity fields, e.g. what means volume used, qtree used, aggr used, volume effective and so on. My customer asked for it but I couldn't find something in our information sources. There's a TR for custom reporting but it only explains which fields are available.

Thanks in advance

Stefan

HI,

Help page in DFM should show the meaning and definition of the fields in that particular page. (There should be a “?” icon on the report page, clicking on which would take you to help topic.

Thanks,

Arun

Hi Arun,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately the field physical used is not explained in the help pages. However, this is the one that I'm interested in. I figured out effective = physical + savings but I wonder why used capacity sometimes has a few GB more than the physical used capacity.
