Identify systems reaching capacity limits
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.
