Hello.

Our Isilon cluster contains two Gen6 Isilons (isi1, isi2). Each of them is containing one node pool with H500 nodes, and one A2000 nodes. Only the H500 nodes of isi1 and isi2 are accessible for users (active client connections). We are having file pool policies running which are supposed to move files older than x months over to the A2000 node pool. Over time the A2000's should fill up, the H500 nodes should empty. The job reports 'SmartPool (phase 1)' on both Isilons are showing that this policy is working.

 

According to the file system explorer in OneFS (v8.2.1) there should only be approx. 25 % of data (ca. 250 TB, user accessible data) in the H500 node pool. But OneFS (File system > Storage pools > Smart pools > HDD used) and InsightIQ (capacity reporting > capacity forecast > filter by node pool) are reporting that this node pool is used with 52 % (550 TB). Unfortunately neither OneFS nor InsightIQ are showing the details of the data in that node pool. We would like to find out where the other 27 % (approx. 270 TB) of data are coming from.

 

How to find out what data are located in a node pool? Was looking for a command but could just find where files are located, which is not helpful with millions of files. On the other hand, possibly SyncIQ is putting data from isi2 on the H500 node pool of isi1?

 

Thank you.
