have you considered automatic file system extension feature of Celerra ?  File system and automatic file system extension You can create or extend file systems with AVM storage pools and configure the file systemto automatically extend as needed. You can enable automatic file system extension on a filesystem when it is created, or you can enable and disable it at any later time by modifyingthe file system. The options that work with automatic file system extension are:◆ HWM◆ Maximum size◆ Virtual ProvisioningThe HWM is the point at which the file system must be extended to meet the usage demand.The default HWM is 90 percent.The default supported maximum size for any file system is 16 TB.With automatic file system extension, the maximum size is the size to which the file systemcould grow, up to the supported 16 TB. Setting the maximum size is optional with automaticfile system extension, but mandatory with Virtual Provisioning. With Virtual Provisioningenabled, users and applications see the maximum size, while only a portion of that size isactually allocated to the file system.Automatic file system extension allows the file system to grow as needed without systemadministrator intervention, making it easier to meet system operations requirementscontinuously, without interruptions.
Hello EveryOne ! ..  Can I automate or generate a report /monitoring on the Celerra 704G ( only CIFS ) ?Here's the scenario:  I have plethora of requests coming from CIFS users to increase the NAS space on their network drive.The request usually comes where in customer asks for increase in space on their folder . And in order to cater to that request I need to extend the File system by getting the share information from the user.  Here's an e.g :  cutomer unable to save files on \\nas5\ufs4$\Trauma "Trauma" is the folder where customer is trying to save data.  For this, i need to see how much space in availabe on that network drive by mapping it. Then, go to filesystem and extend it by certain amount .  Such request comes in  inordinate amount and my customer donr 't want to send mails over and over for space increase , so my question is :  Is there a way i can Monitor this usage so that i can Xtend the fs before customer shoots a mail? Whenever the fs is on the verge of getting filled up i get an alert and work on it on priority, Is there any third party tool i can use ?  Please advise!!  Thank you for reading
