Hello,

We are a small customer using only a FAS 2040 with 2 controllers and 36 disks in 2 aggregates.

We plan to migrate our 8 LUNS / volumes to 1 LUN / volume per controller while enabling Thin Provisionning and Volume Dedup.

- We want an efficient system to monitor and do stats about data volume growing. Which NetApp tool install / use ? The web My Auto Support is too slow to use.

- We want to set up email alerts about storage usage, what is the easyiest way ?

- Since updating to 8.1.4 we can't anymore access to http://abfa/na_admin

After authentication the browser displays a HTTP 500 error

Is that normal ?

Hi,

OnCommand System Manager is the tool to use to manage Data ONTAP 8.1 and higher as FilerView was removed starting with 8.1.

http://support.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/software  =>   OnCommand System Manager

From the download page for OCSM:

Note: System Manager replaces FilerView® as the tool to manage storage systems running Data ONTAP® 8.1 or later

Thanks,

Kevin

Oncommand System Manager replaced FilerView. However to monitor system OnCommand Unified Manager (AKA DFM Data Fabric Manager) is the best for what you are trying to achieve.
