Monitoring storage-pool and volume usage

Monitoring space available in a storage pool
Monitoring the space available in storage pools is important to ensure that client operations such as backup can complete successfully. To make more space available, you might need to define more volumes for disk storage pools, or add more volumes for sequential-access storage pools such as tape.

Monitoring the use of storage pool volumes
Monitoring how storage pool volumes are used lets you make the most efficient use available storage.

Monitoring migration processes
To obtain information about migration processing, you can request a standard storage-pool report.

Monitoring the use of cache space on disk storage
To determine whether cache is being used on disk storage and to monitor how much space is being used by cached copies, query the server for a detailed storage pool report.

Obtaining information about the use of storage space
You can generate reports to determine the amount of space used by client nodes and file spaces, storage pools and device classes, or types of data (backup, archive, or space-managed). Generating occupancy reports on a regular basis can help you with capacity planning.
