Identify systems reaching capacity limits

Contributors netapp-manishc netapp-reenu FarheenViquas

Proactively identify systems reaching capacity limits and send a request to increase the capacity of your storage system.

For ONTAP, you can view systems that have exceeded 90% capacity or are to exceed 90% capacity in 1, 3, and 6 months. For StorageGRID, you can view systems that have exceeded 70% capacity or are to exceed 70% capacity in 1, 3, and 6 months.

Steps

  1. In the Planning widget, click Capacity Additions.

    By default, the ONTAP systems that have exceeded 90% capacity or are nearing 90% capacity are displayed.

  2. Click StorageGRID tab to view the StorageGRID systems that have exceeded 70% capacity or are nearing 70% capacity.

  3. Select the systems for which you want to increase capacity.

  4. Click View Capacity Forecast to view the capacity forecast for the next 6 months.

  5. Click Request to Add Capacity.

  6. Optionally, provide any comments.

  7. Click Send to send the request to the NetApp storage team to assist with the capacity addition for the selected systems.
