Collecting information about the sizes of snapshots in IBM Storage Scale

Edit online

By default, IBM Spectrum Control does not collect information about the size of GPFS snapshots in IBM Storage Scale. To view that information, you must enable IBM Spectrum Control to collect information about the size of snapshots.

About this task

Restriction: When you enable data to be collected about the size of GPFS snapshots, the collection might put a significant load on the IBM Storage Scale cluster during the probe. This load might affect other applications that use the same cluster.

Procedure

  1. Run the following command to set the Probe.GetGPFSSnapshotSize property for the Device server to true: 
    tpctool setdscfg -user user_ID -pwd password -url localhost:9550 
-property Probe.GetGPFSSnapshotSize true
    Where user_ID is an IBM Spectrum Control user ID and password is the password for the IBM Spectrum Control user ID.
  2. Restart the IBM Spectrum Control Device server and the web server.
