What DD tools available to check daily disk usage, showing files/folders/share?

Hi James -

You're probably not going to find that level of detail in the Data Domain.  The DD tracks data on a "capacity" basis, i.e. how many GB did I injest today, yesterday, last week, etc.  You can generate reports on capacity consumption on each Data Domain via the Reports tab.

You can query individual files/folders for compression and consumption statistics with the CLI command "filesys show compression" :

sysadmin@dd-test# filesys show compression /data/col1/cifs_sql/LMXDB recursive

Let us know if that helps!

Thanks Karl for the input.

Yeah, I use the same CLI script you posted, it would be helpful really if we have a tools that can pinpoint specific files/folders (especially SQL backup) we are using the DD for. I am trying to role out any ran away jobs (files/folders) that maybe using big portion of the DD disk. Isilon has that ability to drill down specific file (path) to allow it to monitor usage via email alert.
