How to monitor volumes

Procedure Select one or more filestores from the filestore tree. If necessary, locate a filestore in the tree using one of the following methods: Select FSCs, Load Balancers and/or Filestore Groups to select all filestores within the selected grouping. Selecting all three groupings effectively selects all volumes defined in your FMS configuration. Filter the entries in the filestore tree by entering a filestore name in the search box. As you type in the box the tree refreshes, listing only filestores with names containing the characters typed in the search box. If you recently added a filestore to your site, click Refresh with current items to update the cached filestore information read from the bootstrap FSC. Click Retrieve volume information . The volume table is populated with the following data for the selected filestores. Monitor the selected filestore by reviewing the data in the volume table using one of the following methods: Filter the entries in the table entering a volume name in the search box. As you type in the box the tree refreshes, listing only volumes with names containing the characters typed in the search box. If you have recently modified filestores at your site, click Refresh with current items to update the cached filestore information read from the bootstrap FSC. Select the volume in the volume table for which you want to retrieve usage information. Click Retrieve user information in the volume table. The usage table is populated with data for the selected volume. By default, user data is populated. Select the Groups option to display group data in the usage table. Monitor usage information for the selected volume by reviewing either user or group data in the usage table. Monitor user information for a specific user by selecting a user from the usage table. If necessary, filter the entries in the usage table by entering all or part of a user name in the search box. As you type in the box the table refreshes, listing only users with names containing the characters typed in the search box. The boxes to the right of the usage table are populated with volume information for the selected user. Monitor group information for a specific group by selecting a group from the usage table. If necessary, filter the entries in the usage table by entering all or part of a group name in the search box. As you type in the box the table refreshes, listing only groups with names containing the characters typed in the search box. The boxes to the right of the usage table are populated with group information for the selected group. If volume usage is significantly unequal between users or groups, and if volume free space is limited, balance volume usage by reallocating users or groups consuming large amounts of volume space to a different default volume, and/or a different default local volume.
