Checking Free Space on a SAN Volume
There are several ways to see how much space is available on a SAN volume.
To see how much free space is available on a volume:
m If you’re using a computer on which the volume is mounted, select the volume 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.
m If you’re using a computer on which the volume is not mounted or a computer that
isn’t part of the SAN, open Xsan Admin, connect to a SAN controller, select the volume
in the SAN Components list, and click Overview.
From the Command Line
You can also check volume free space using the
cvadmin stat command. For more
information, see the cvadmin man page or “Viewing or Changing Volume and Storage
Pool Settings (cvadmin)” on page 85.

Pools list at the bottom of the window.
