how to find directory total size [web interface] ??

hello,

how to get the total size of directory [ including inner directories / files as well ]  like if i create a parent directory called  prod_share  then it has

bunch of inner folders/files but when i see click the prod_share on top its showing size in 501 B but i know the data inside is ~ 100GB.

i believe we can navigate to that path on CLI /ifs/xx/xx then du cmd but is there any way to find that on web interface??

Do you have InsightIQ ?

you can look under File System Reporting tab, FSAnalyze job that runs on the cluster populates InsightIQ with file system information.

thank you dynamox , i check that out when my insightiq vm is up [ its down for maintainence now : ) ].

Also , can someone correct me i am wrong here. i seen difference in sizes when i do actual size cmd and quota tab.

CLI:

nas5% cd /ifs/

nas5% cd Staging_share

nas5% du -sk .

132930565       .

same share on Quota tab showing me that usage is 88gb only ( here i attach the screenshot ) . where on cli it showing me its ~ 132gb

I think du is showing information based on protection level as well as snapshot usage.  If you want it not to do that you can do wither an du -A or a du ---apparent-size.

du never includes snaphots... only protection overhead unless -A or --apparent-size is used.

Quota usage  can be queried (on the Isilon CLI) with or without protection overhead at any time.

Quota thresholds can include protection overhead or not, and this can be modified at any time per threshold.

On the other hand, to include snapshots in quota, this must be configured when a quota domain is set up.

To maximize clarity, all four combinations (ovh, snap, ovh+snap, none) are possible...

I like to query the Insight IQ data directly,  since Insight IQ knows most of what I need.. but i'm not a fan of how it displays the information in that section..... and quotas can take a little bit to return...

hi Dynamox,

my insightiq is up , selected file system reporting tab for specific cluster then i tried both data properties/data usage still i don't see the folders actual sizes . probably its a matter of time for my insightIq bec its a newer version before its ubuntu now its rpm  ??  i added cluster around ~ 4 hrs back.

yes, you need to wait for FSAnalyze job to finish and populate data in InsightIQ.

thank you.

so in my case fsanalyse completed.  what could be the reason my directories are not showing up in insightIQ ?

One of the easiest ways for me is to run isi status from the ssh prompt.

Sarks-2# isi status

Cluster Name: Sarks

Cluster Job Status:

No running jobs.

No paused or waiting jobs.

No failed jobs.

Recent job results:                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Time            Job                        Event                         

--------------- -------------------------- ------------------------------

07/09 22:01:09  FSAnalyze[57]              Succeeded (LOW)

07/10 22:00:35  SmartPools[58]             Succeeded (LOW)

07/10 22:01:16  FSAnalyze[59]              Succeeded (LOW)

07/11 22:00:44  SmartPools[60]             Succeeded (LOW)

07/11 22:01:30  FSAnalyze[61]              Succeeded (LOW)

07/12 07:03:06  SnapshotDelete[62]         Succeeded (MEDIUM)

07/12 07:13:06  SnapshotDelete[63]         Succeeded (MEDIUM)

07/12 07:23:16  SnapshotDelete[64]         Succeeded (MEDIUM)

Then it shows you whats running, and what has ran recently.

So in my case, This cluster shows no jobs currently running, and the last time Fsanalyse completed, was 07/11.
