Some useful reports to create, that you can create to help you better.
- Volume and Snapshot reserve usage in one report
Create the following custom report for the same as below.
dfm report create -R SnapReserve -f Volume.Aggregate.Filer=StorageSystem,Volume.Aggregate=ContainingAggr,Volume.Name=VolName,Volume.Total=VolTotal,Volume.Used=VolUsed,Volume.Available=VolAvail,Name=SnapName,Total=SnapResTotal,
Used=SnapResUsed -L "Volume And Snapshot Capacity Usage" volume-and-snapshot-usage
- When should I buy new disks.
You can look at "Raw Capacity Used vs Total" graph for each filer to check the physical capacity usage or at a group level.
To check the actual usage, see "Volume Capacity Used vs Total".
Raw Capacity Total is the some of all disk sizes (data, parity, dual parity and spare disks).
Raw Capacity Used is the some of all in-use disk sizes (data, parity and dual parity).
- How to know if aggr space is completely committed, but the vols on that aggr still have space left ?
You can create the following custom report:
dfm report create -R Aggregate -f FullName=AggrName,Status=AggrStatus,Used=AggrCapUsed,UsedPct="AggrCapUsed%",BytesCommitted=AggrBytesCommitted,BytesCommittedPct="AggrBytesCommitted%",SpaceAvailable=AggrCapAvail,AvailablePct="AggrCapAvail%",TotalSpace="AggrCapTotal", -L "Aggregate Used vs Committed Space" aggr-used-committed
Bytes Committed - Amount of aggregate space committed to flexible volumes.
Bytes Committed (%) - Percentage of aggregate space committed to flexible volumes.
Used Capacity - Amount of space in the aggregate used by flexible volumes.
Bytes Used (%) - Percentage of aggregate space used by flexible volumes.
Total Space - Total capacity of this aggregate.
- How can I find the disk sizes after right-sizing
We show the marketing size of the disks and not the right size capacity of the disks in reports.
We collect right size information for disks through SNMP (but it does not exactly match the value reported by "sysconfig -r" command).
This is available through custom reports through the "UsedSpace" field in the "Disk" catalog.
Note: right size information is not available for spare disks because this is not available through SNMP.
dfm report create -R disk -f "Name,Filer,UsedSpace:MB ,Size:MB" -L "Right Sized Disk" disk-size-report
