BlueXP migration reports

Create a report

Contributors amgrissino

You can create a volumes report that shows the number of files, files in directories, symbolic links, hard links, largest file sizes, allocated capacity, and more.

Each time you create a report, the BlueXP migration reports service scans the path and compiles the data. Using the same report definition, you can have multiple instances of that report.

The BlueXP migration reports service shows data by volumes.

You can generate only one report at a time.

You can also download the report as a PDF file.

Tip All BlueXP migration reports operations are listed in the BlueXP Timeline. To see the Timeline, select BlueXP Settings > Timeline.
Steps
  1. From the BlueXP left nav, select Storage > Migration reports.

  2. Select Create New Report.

  3. Enter a report name.

  4. Select a working environment from the drop-down list.

    Only those environments that are active and enabled in BlueXP appear in the list of working environments.

    Tip The BlueXP Connector must have access to the data LIF of the volume in order to access the data.
