Detecting Full File Systems

A filer's full file system can lead to performance degradations and critical loss of data. To prevent such problems, administrators need to monitor the Free Space and the Free Space Percentage parameters of the Volume class on each filer to diagnose which filer constitutes the performance bottleneck.

1.In the Status tab, expand the NetApp Filer for which you need to check the available free space, then click Volumes.

2.Click the History icon to automatically display a graph that shows the free space in gigabytes and the free space percentage values collected during the previous six hours.  You can customize the chart and table to show parameter history for different time periods.
