Monitor and tier inactive data with FabricPool Advisor

02/16/2021 Contributors Download PDF of this page

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 dashboard in Active IQ Digital Advisor displays details of your inactive local tier (aggregate) data, inactive volume data, tiered data, and data without Inactive Data Reporting (IDR) enabled. This information is available at customer, site, group, watchlist, cluster, and node levels.

If there is more than 60% 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.

Steps

Select FabricPool from the left navigation pane.
Click Tier Data to tier the data using Cloud Manager.

To learn more about FabricPool, refer to FabricPool Best Practices.
