how to get storage pool totals from control station command line
Is there a command or commands we can run from one of our NAS control stations to list the storage pool totals? If we run Celerra Manager and select "Storage" then "Pools" we can get a nice graphic display with the "Storage Capacity" for each of 7 pools that we have defined. Can someone provide the NAS command that can be executed from command line that generates something similar? Thanks very much.

But ... we have a pool called sym_std that shows 10.8 TB allocated to it in the celerra manager gui. When I run
nas_pool -size symm_std
I get
zeros.
id = 1
name = symm_std
used_mb = 0
avail_mb = 0
total_mb = 0
potential_mb = 4548537
Why?

What is the output of nas_pool -list? Is there another pool using that space?

Interesting. The result :
$ nas_pool -size symm_std -slice y
id = 1
name = symm_std
used_mb = 6753458
avail_mb = 74058
total_mb = 6827516
potential_mb = 4548537
So ... total + potential gets us to 10+ TBytes. I wonder why total_mb is only 6827516?

and look at the -slice explanation
[-slice {y|n}]
If y is typed, displays size information when volumes in the storage
pool are sliced. If n is typed, displays size information when
volumes in the storage pool are not sliced. The -slice option defaults
to the value of default_slice_flag for the storage pool.

total is how much has been "grabbed" by the pool already, potential is how much capacity is still hanging out there and could be "grabbed" by the pool

Something seems a bit wonky if the GUI says the symm_std pool has 10TB allocated, but the command line says other wise. I'd check the totals on the other pools and compare it to the number in the GUI. If things don't match, I'd open a LiveChat session or a ticket. Someone could dial in and check the config - it sounds like the GUI and CLI don't agree.

All of the other pool info is correct and I know the symm_std pool should be showing 10+ TBytes. I will open a case in Powerlink. Thanks.
