Monitor and tier inactive data with FabricPool Advisor
You can reduce your storage footprint and associated costs by monitoring and tiering your cold or inactive data to low-cost object storage tiers.
The FabricPool Advisor dashboard in Active IQ Digital Advisor displays details of your inactive local tier (aggregate) data, inactive volume data, tiered data, and unmonitored data.
|
You can enable Inactive Data Reporting (IDR) to generate a zip file with an Ansible Playbook file. This information is available at customer, site, group, watchlist, cluster, and node levels. |
If there is more than 50% inactive data in a volume, you can tier the data using NetApp® Cloud Manager. For more information on cloud tiering, refer to Learn about Cloud Tiering.
