Customers who want to know how much storage is being used (total allocated capacity across pools or volume groups) should refer to usedSpace in the information retrieved by the Web Services API (ReastAPI). (Python example) uri = "https://{0}:{1}{2}{3}/storage-pools/{4}".format( self.ip_addr, self.port, '/devmgr/v2/storage-systems/', system_id, uuid) result = requests.get( uri, auth=(self.user, self.passwd), verify=False, timeout=20.0 ) used_capacity = result['usedSpace'] The customer informs us that the usedSpace value fluctuates slightly even though the volume is not being extended, created, or written to storage. (Question 1) Is there any calculation for usedSpace above other than the amount of storage allocated by the customer in WebGUI? For example, does it include metadata or snapshot copy data? (Question 2) If the above information includes metadata and snapshot information, what information would you look for to get only the amount that the customer has explicitly assigned that does not include it?

Hi all, I have a problem with the EF570 controller: the autosupport has turned off and I cannot turn it on. Yesterday, I tried to open the case, but it said that autosupport was not available. I need to open the case without active auto support MANUALLY. Is it possible to do this? And how? Please help me resolve this issue. Thanks!

What is the minimum number of drives required for the E2800? RAID creation is not assumed. The reason for this question is that when four HDD drives are installed, the following warning is recorded every 24 hours. 「"May 8, 2025 1:55:54 PM","Warning","Controller","Shelf 99, Bay A","Insufficient storage or drive count for autocode synchronization image","9730","3307","0/0/0","Error","A"」 thanx

Hello, we have an E2824 with 10 SSD drives in RAID 5 and 11 SAS drives in RAID 5, and we wanted to upgrade all the SAS drives to SSDs. Would this array support SSDs? We wouldn't use it for caching; it's all RAID 5.

Do you know of any other methods by which we can monitor our E-Series? There is no SCOM Management Pack, not ActiveIQ integration, etc.
So when we have a system/disk/etc. failure, we need to solely rely on the e-mail alerts that the SANtricity OS sends, which gets many times swallowed up with all of the other million mails we get per day.
What do you do?
