Get total filer capacity and available capacity

[CRAIGEGROSS]

I am new to powershell and am trying to create a script that will give the total capacity of the filer and available capacity.

I have seen the getnavol and getaggr and use them to get that data but am stumped on how to get total capacity data.

Any assistance is appreciated

Hi Craig, We can attain the same using powershell custom objects.

Have a look at the code below and run it in your environment to get the required information. We can use Get-NaDisk and extract the total,available and used storage on the controller

$info = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property  @{

'FilerName' = (Get-NaSystemInfo).systemname;

'Total Physical Disk Space Capacity (TB)'=([math]::round((((Get-NaDisk | % { $_.PhysicalSpace} | Measure-Object -Sum).sum)/1TB),2));

'Used Disk Space Capacity (TB)'=([math]::round((((Get-NaDisk | % { $_.UsedSpace} | Measure-Object -Sum).sum)/1TB),2));

'Available Disk Capacity (TB)'=(([math]::round((((Get-NaDisk | % { $_.PhysicalSpace} | Measure-Object -Sum).sum)/1TB),2)) - ([math]::round((((Get-NaDisk | % { $_.UsedSpace} | Measure-Object -Sum).sum)/1TB),2)));

}

$info

We use custom hash tables to append all values to one place rather than using Add-Content to create reusable objects, please have a look at the link http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powershell/archive/2009/12/05/new-object-psobject-property-hashtable.aspx

Please do let me know if this is what you need.
