Investigating capacity trends

Monitor capacity and investigate trends in storage usage.

Investigating capacity trends for block storage systems
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the block storage systems to check which storage systems have the highest growth rates and which storage systems might need more capacity.
Investigating capacity trends for file storage systems
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the file storage systems to check which storage systems have the highest growth rates and which storage systems might need more capacity.
Investigating capacity trends for object storage systems
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the object storage systems to check which storage systems have the highest growth rates and which storage systems might need more capacity.
Investigating capacity trends for block storage pools
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the block storage pools to check which storage pools have the highest growth rates, which storage pools might need more capacity, and which storage pools are at risk because too much capacity is committed to the thin-provisioned volumes.
Investigating capacity trends for volumes
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables to check the rate at which the thin-provisioned volumes consume capacity, the compression savings for the volumes that were converted to compressed volumes, and the changes in the distribution of Easy Tier® volumes across the SSD, Enterprise HDD, and Nearline HDD drives.
Investigating capacity trends for file systems
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the file systems to check which file systems have the highest growth rates and which file systems might require additional capacity.
Investigating capacity trends for file system pools
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables for the file system pools in your storage systems to check which storage pools have the highest growth rates so that you can plan future storage requirements.
Investigating capacity trends for filesets
Use the capacity charts to check which filesets have the highest growth rates in your file storage systems.
Investigating capacity trends for containers
Use the capacity charts to check which containers have the highest growth rates in your object storage systems.
Investigating capacity trends for tiers
Use the capacity charts and the information that is shown in the tables to check which tiers have the highest growth rates and which tiers might require more capacity.
Controls for capacity views
Each capacity view includes controls for customizing how information is displayed. The type of view and the resources that you are viewing determine which controls are available.
