NetApp Cluster-Mode Aggregates at Risk
For thin provisioning, it’s important to know when host usage is about to exceed the storage that was promised. The details shown in this aggregate report can help you understand the current physical capacity status. When an aggregate is at risk—the amount of used storage in the FlexVol approaches the aggregate’s capacity—it can be re-sized to add physical disk space to the aggregate. This is for Cluster Mode arrays.
Use Quick Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
Use the Explorer to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Capacity Manager > Capacity At Risk > NetApp Cluster-Mode Aggregates at Risk
NOTE: The Total Capacity value represents the amount of storage that has been committed or promised to hosts. Therefore, host resources data collection must be implemented in order to determine which Aggregates are at risk and an associated host must be at risk in order for the Aggregate to be considered at risk.
When you generate this report, you can select the threshold to report: Low, Warning, or Critical.
