Is there a way to report file-level cold data?
Applies to
- ONTAP
- System Manager
- Active IQ
Answer
To identify cold data, ONTAP scans aggregates and volumes at the block-level. Therefore, there is no way from ONTAP to generate a cold data report at the file-level.
Additional Information
- Reports can be generated in Active IQ to determine the amount of cold data in a given aggregate or volume.
- Creating a report to view volumes with a high amount of cold data on an aggregate that is not FabricPool-enabled
