Check free space
There are several ways to see how much space is available on a SAN volume or on
storage pools in a volume.
Available space
Check the free space on a volume:
From a client or controller computer that has the volume mounted, select the volume
m
in a Finder window, and look at the size information at the bottom of the window (in
Column or List view) or choose File > Get Info. You can also use Disk Utility.
From a computer that has Mac OS X Lion Server but doesn’t have the volume
m
mounted or doesn’t belong to the SAN, open Xsan Admin, click Volumes in the SAN
Assets list, look for the volume, and then look at the Available column.
The reported size and free space for an Xsan volume doesn’t include space in storage
pools that contain only journal data and metadata. Only space on storage pools where
users can store files is counted (that is, storage pools set to be used for “Any data” or
“User data only”).
For example, if you create a volume consisting of four 120 GB storage pools and
configure one for journal and metadata only, Xsan Admin reports the size of the
volume as 360 GB, not 480 GB.
Check the free space on a storage pool:
Open Xsan Admin, select Volumes in the SAN Assets list, look for the storage pool, and
m
then look at the Available column.
