Managing File Volumes and Directories
View File Volume Information
File Volumes are the basic unit of logical storage for a file system on the
HP NetStorage 6000. The volume contains a directory hierarchy that stores
files within the directories of that hierarchy. You can manage directories
and files from a remote UNIX or Windows system using Explorer on
Microsoft Windows, or by mounting the file volume from a UNIX shell.
The HP NetStorage 6000 also offers a simple browsing tool that allows you
to examine the hierarchy of each file volume on the system, and to perform
basic management functions.
To view file volume information:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Storage tab, then select
File Volumes. A tree list appears on the left. On the right, a file volume
summary screen appears. This summary screen displays the following
general information for each volume on the system:
• File volume name
• Total capacity in MB
• Free space in MB
• Free space in percent
• Used space
2 Navigate the tree list to display more detailed information for each file
volume, and each subdirectory within the file volume. The root of the
tree is an image of a computer, and is called Summary. Select this to
display the summary page.
File volumes are displayed in the second level of the tree hierarchy.
Select a file volume to display a page that contains the following
information:
• File volume name
• Total capacity in MB
• Used space in MB
• Used space in percent
• Unused space in MB
• Unused space in percent
• Windows share status of the volume root, and lets you change the
share status. You can use the Actions button to manage directories.
