Storage Analyzer captures daily snapshots of all Disks and files, which are then analyzed and stored in a historical indexed database. This information is retained for any period of time determined by the system administrator.
Main screen displays the analyses in one simplified view for the most recent date. A date control on top allows the user to do the same for any date. This date control is available on all screens, except for list of files which reverts back to current time, showing current actual files on NonStop.
Below describes the content and the drill down options available:
On top, total available storage is shown in Terabyte, and a stacked bar shows used vs. available in both TB and percentage.
The graph below breaks the storage used, by Guardian Group ID, and displays it in the order of Groups with most used space. Y1 shows storage used in Megabyte, and Y2 shows number of files “owned” by each Group.
- Click on a graph point to display a new window showing the breakdown per User of that Group.
- Click on a user on that window, to open a ne window and see a list of Volumes where this used has files, and relevant statistics, such as total count, files near capacity, corrupted files, etc.
- Click on a Volume to open a new window and see the breakdown per subvolume.
- Click on a subvolume on that window, to open a new window and see a list of current files.
- Click on a filename on that window, to carry out simple file commands.
- Click on a subvolume on that window, to open a new window and see a list of current files.
- Click on a Volume to open a new window and see the breakdown per subvolume.
- Click on a user on that window, to open a ne window and see a list of Volumes where this used has files, and relevant statistics, such as total count, files near capacity, corrupted files, etc.
Files section in the middle displays statistics per Volume (logical). It shows tallies of files as follows:
- Count – Total number of files
- > 90% – Number of files at above 90% of configured capacity.
- Full – Number of files at full capacity
- Corrupt – Number of corrupted files
- Licensed – Number of files with License flag set
- PROGID – Number of files with ProgID flag set
- Audited – Number of TMF audited files
- New – Number of files created on the displayed date.
- New Licensed – Number of files which were licensed on the displayed date.
- New PID – Number of files which had their ProgID set on the displayed date.
- Old – Number of files which have not been opened for a set number of days (set by system manager and used for all files).
- Unused – Number of files which have never been opened.
Content may be sorted for any column, and you may click on any non-zero number to see the list of files for that category.
By default information displayed is for All files. There are two other options displayed on the Tab displayed above the grid:
- Only mine – Limit the display to only your (based on the user ID you used to logon to Web ViewPoint) files.
- Only for – Displays a field where you can type in and submit a Guardian user id (Group.User). The list is then displayed to the files belonging to the user you specified.
- You may click on a Volume name displayed on the table, to open a new window which displays the breakdown of all files on that disk, per subvolume.
- Click on a subvolume on that window, to open a new window and see a list of current files in that subvolume.
- Click on a filename on that window to select and carry out simple file commands.
Disks section at the bottom displays the following information per Disk drive (Physical), as of the selected date:
- Size GB – Size in Gigabytge
- % Used – Percent used
- Delta MB – Variation in MB used spaced when compared to the prior date.
- New MB – In Megabyte total size of the files newly created on that date.
- Days to 90% – Based on past 30-day history, number of days before this Disk reaches 90% of its capacity.
- Days to 100% – Based on past 30-day history, number of days before this Disk reaches its full capacity.
You may click on a Volume name displayed on the table, to open a new window which displays the breakdown of all files on that disk, per subvolume.
- Click on a subvolume on that window, to open a new window and see a list of current files in that subvolume.
- Click on a filename on that window to select and carry out simple file commands.
