How to monitor DFS shares disk usage/free space?

How to monitor DFS shares disk usage/free space?
Using Netapp filer shares to which DFS points. Looking for powershell script to send report.

Hi,
How about using Disk Quota function in FSRM (File Server Resource Manager)?
Please see:
Quota Management
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755917(v=ws.10).aspx
In your case you can setup a soft quota with a specific size so that when it runs out of space you set, you will get an email or warning according to your setup. 
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • How can validate the ASM size and free space correctly?

    Dears ,,
    I faced problem in ASM size as it appeared in alert file as below
    ORA-19504: failed to create file "+DG_DATA"
    ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DG_DATA
    ORA-15041: diskgroup space exhausted
    So we resize ASM space and large it. But we faced the same problem also although there is free space in ASM.
    It seems that the shown free space is not real.

    I was having this problem. Im my case i couldn add datafiles to a tablespace despite the fact that i was having a lot of space in the asm. Try rebalancing. It might help. In my case rebalancing also didn work because it seems that there need to be a threshold space in all the disks for the rebalancing to happen which was not in my case, so i had to shrink some unused space in the tablespace and then after gaining the required space I rebalanced the disk and then the disks got rebalanced, also i was able to use the free space that was showing .

  • How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.

    How can I get the amount of free space that is on my drive to show at the bottom of the drive in Lion.
    This is a must feature for me and I may have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    Please help!

    Right click on your desktop and choose "viewer options". Adjust the spacing and the size of your icons and you should be able to see the size of your drive(s) and the free space available on each drive with the exception of your bootcamp drive which will only show the overall size of the drive you have it on.  This may be different if you only have one system drive (like on a Mac Book Pro) with a partition containing bootcamp on it. this may only show you the overall capacity, I can't say for sure though as I only use a Mac Pro with 4 seperate Hard Drives which are showing both overall capacity and free space available. Hope this helps

  • How Come I Only 65.6 GB Free Space and 156 GB Already?: Thinkpad T410

    I defraged my computer, removed temporary files, and deleted many files but still only have 65.6 GB Free Space. I'm careful on which websites I use, I use Google safe search and go on anti virus protection approved websites.
    I checked my C drive and programs folder has 5.51 GB and Windows folder 27.9 GB. Every other folder in the C drive has much smaller size in KB.
    My dad bought my Thinkpad T410 and I always assumed that having around 60 GB Free was normal since he installed programs for me. But I was a little bit sketchy that there was only 60 GB free, but assumed it was normal because of the program files my dad installed. But I realized the program files are too small to take up very much space. I had this labptop for less than two years and had to use my warranty several times for dragging arrow  (replaced keyboard) and replace fan multipe times.

    Ok.
    Not too much there to get excited about.
    Do you happen to know how much space is allocated to system restore points? You may have a big allocation that is full if you've been running the machine without cleanup for 2 years. I'm not in front of my pc at this moment, so I can't give the exact steps to check. Bear with me and I'll be back a bit later. In the interim, someone might jump in to continue.
    If you're running Firefox, another thing to check is the amount of the cache allocation.
    Cheers.

  • Newbie question: how to monitor cluster disk drive free space

    ok folks, it is a really painful process for me to use SCOM2007R2 and I figure it might be easier if I start to ask concrete questions.
    1. I have a cluster server and I know some drives have only 10MB and they are not changing at all as I fixed them.  How can I use Monitor/Rules so that I could receive Alert?  I was told by our admin that SCOM only got triggered if status got changed
    In my case, since the drive space will never get changed (fixed to 10MB left), I will never receive alert???
    cheers
    --Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

    "Logical disk free space" is the monitor that will be monitoring this.
    Yes, SCOM will send alerts only when the Mbytes and % values of the free space ; mentioned in the monitor are met. You can configure this monitor by setting up correct Mbytes and % values   to change the state of this monitor and thereafter you
    will receive the alerts from this monitor.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks, S K Agrawal

  • How to monitor DFS login prompt problem? (share corruption)

    Twice we have experienced problems with our DFS shares, both times we discovered that there was one server with a share problem. If we tried to open a share from that server we got a logon prompt. The fastest fix was to rename the DFS folder and the new
    one was replicated in minutes.
    There was about a year between the first and the second time we had this problem.
    The problem is that our Citrix environment is built on DFS shares.  Both times when we got this DFS problem we couldn’t find the cause straight away, it took some hours to discover it was DFS. This problem got a big impact on our production environment.
    Lately I create a lot of Powershell scripts that checks the status of something. If we got a problem with something (like Exchange) then I search for the symptoms of how I can recognize it with Powershell. The output of those scripts is returned to the monitoring
    tool Nagios.
    I want to create a check for this DFS problem, so when it occurs we get an alarm from Nagios and we can fix it right away with less impact for our users. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of information about recognizing the symptoms of this DFS problem.
    The only thing I know that there is a login prompt of accessing the share on per server.
    The second problem is that I can’t test it, because I can’t and don’t to force a corruption on the DFS share.
    I found someone that created a check based on writing a file to a DFS share and checked that date stamp of the file. For now it is my best option.
    I’m wondering if there is someone that got a better idea or if somebody does know more symptoms about recognising this specific DFS problem. (Events (we couldn’t find them), errors in a log file)

    Hi,
    Please try to access the DFS file shares not the dfs path but the UNC path the DFS members to check if you still get a logon prompt.
    You could also refer to the article below to see if it helps:
    You cannot access a DFS share by using a valid user account in Windows Server 2008 R2, in Windows 7, in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008

  • Logical Disk Free Space Monitor - Slow to detect low free space

    We are using the built in two trigger (MB and %) logical disk free space monitor in SCOM 2012 R2. We have setup overrides for MB warning and critical for both system and non-system drives and for a group containing disks we do not want monitored. The monitor
    actually works fine, triggering an alert when both the MB and % free criteria are met. The problem is that it takes almost an hour for the initial alert to fire. After the initial alert, if I further fill the disk to push it from warning to critical, the alert
    changes within the specifiec interval, which we have left at 15 minutes. The alert also clears using the 15 minute interval.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior with this monitor? A disk monitor that takes an hour to fire is not going to be very useful.

    I wanted to see for myself if there was anything else that I might be missing, so I opened up the Windows 2008 Logical Disk Free Space monitor XML and noticed that there is a NumSamples configuration that is set to 4. So, if the interval is 15 minutes, the
    disk would have to exceed both threshold types for 4 consecutive intervals in order to change state and generate alert. This would be a minimum of 1 hour before an alert is raised with the default 15 minutes interval.
    Unfortunately, NumSamples is not overrideable in the monitor type, which is too bad... The only way to get an alert sooner than one hour is to override interval. For example, if you want an alert within 20 minutes, override interval to 300 seconds (5 minutes).
    Here is the code - see for yourself:
    <UnitMonitor ID="Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.LogicalDisk.FreeSpace" Accessibility="Public" Enabled="true" Target="Server2008!Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.LogicalDisk" ParentMonitorID="SystemHealth!System.Health.AvailabilityState" Remotable="true" Priority="Normal" TypeID="Microsoft.Windows.Server.2008.FreeSpace.Monitortype" ConfirmDelivery="true">

    </OperationalStates>
    <Configuration>
    <ComputerName>$Target/Host/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.Computer"]/NetworkName$</ComputerName>
    <DiskLabel>$Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDevice"]/DeviceID$</DiskLabel>
    <IntervalSeconds>900</IntervalSeconds>
    <SystemDriveWarningMBytesThreshold>500</SystemDriveWarningMBytesThreshold>
    <SystemDriveWarningPercentThreshold>10</SystemDriveWarningPercentThreshold>
    <SystemDriveErrorMBytesThreshold>300</SystemDriveErrorMBytesThreshold>
    <SystemDriveErrorPercentThreshold>5</SystemDriveErrorPercentThreshold>
    <NonSystemDriveWarningMBytesThreshold>2000</NonSystemDriveWarningMBytesThreshold>
    <NonSystemDriveWarningPercentThreshold>10</NonSystemDriveWarningPercentThreshold>
    <NonSystemDriveErrorMBytesThreshold>1000</NonSystemDriveErrorMBytesThreshold>
    <NonSystemDriveErrorPercentThreshold>5</NonSystemDriveErrorPercentThreshold>
    <NumSamples>4</NumSamples>
    </Configuration>
    </UnitMonitor>
    This proves 2 things:
    1. Your testing proved that the monitor is working as designed - you got an alert in about an hour
    2. This is a bad design at best, or a bug if you wish, as NumSamples should not be a hidden configuration - it should be exposed in override parameters in the console.
    This should be fixed by Microsoft.

  • Monitor archived log disk usage

    is there an easy way to monitor the disk usage on
    archived redo logs (/archive in unix platform) in
    plsql (general user if possible)? Thanks.
    - Zack Hu

    You cannot easily do it from PL/SQL. You would need to write a shell script to do it.
    We use a script that uses df -k and awk to find the percent used foreach ofthe mount points, then depending on thresholds, we send an email.
    It goes something like this (O/S Sun Solaris 9.5
    filesystems=`df -k|awk '{print $1"!"$6"!95"}'|tail +2`
    for f in $filesystems
    do
       fs=`echo $f|awk -F! '{print $1}'`
       perc=`echo $f|awk -F! '{print $3}'`
       mnt=`echo $f|awk -F! '{print $2}'`
       chk=`df -k $fs|tail +2|awk '{print $5}'|awk -F% '{print $1}'`
       if [ $perc -lt $chk ]; then
          email dba with $mnt $perc and $chk
       fi
    doneThere is, of course, a lot more error checking and stuff, but that is the gist.

  • How to create a partition using the free space of an existing[SOLVED]

    Hi Guys,
    Since I could not install fifa 09 using wine on linux, I need to create a partition where I can install windows first in order to install fifa 09 on it. How can I create a partition using the rest free space of my , for example, /home partition?How can I do it in a secure way (meaning without doing something to my existing archlinux installation files and system files) ?
    Thanks.

    Use Parted Magic. But you *should* backup any important files just in case, regardless of method you use. You never know. Someone could unplug your computer, a power surge might happen, etc. A cousin of mine actually did something similar while I was gaming, the extension cord has a red button which he "accidentally" pressed. I would've cracked his skull had he done it while resizing a partition.
    Anyway, the partitioning scheme should be the first thing you do when you decide go this route (dual booting). I remember about a year ago I forced myself to use Linux by formatting the entire drive to ext4, except for the 2 GB + 20 GB ntfs partitions. It was what kick-started me on this path. Here's my partitioning scheme for both computers, maybe you'll get an idea and do something similar:
    Older computer:
    2 GB ntfs - MicroXP
    8 GB ext4 - Arch Linux + Home dir (to keep the dot files organized in one place)
    20 GB ntfs - games partition
    Rest is for media, formatted as ext3 with inode 128 (so it can be loaded as Read-Only in Windows too via Ext2fsd so they won't be affected in case of a virus infection)
    New computer:
    20 GB Windows 7
    10 GB Arch Linux + home dir
    50 GB games partition
    Rest of the space is ext4 mounted to /media
    Note that they're all primary partitions for remembering easier (sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4) instead of a combination of primary and extended which would probably look like sda1, sda5, sda6, sda7, etc.

  • How does repeated snapshot import impact tablespace free space?

    Hello,
    Our client is doing DEC-2014 reconciliation in FCM. Every time he changes profile mappings he has to do snapshot import again. So far he did at least ten times snapshot import for DEC-2014 period. In our FCM database Tablespace FCM_TX_TS_DATA free space is reduced 7 GB for this period already by querrying dba_free_space table.
    By my understanding during the repeated snapshot import for the same period, the previous load data is deleted and the current load data is inserted. After data delete the table space will not be set free, and high water mark will not be reset.
    During snapshot import will the deleted blocks from the previous load be reclaimed when new load data is inserted in the table? If not, what is the best way to reclaim the free space in FCM_TX_TS_DATA tablespace?
    Thanks,
    Hongfei Liu (AT&T)

    Hallo. I need to replace all schemas from one server to another. I want to know how much free space will be left on /data after this kind of refresh. Both servers are Oracle 9 so I will use exp/imp. Here is how I do it. Could you check if I think good? On target server there is 72 GB free space on /data.
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted
    /dev/vgsmxdata/lvsmxcopy 194.74G 122.56G 72.18G 63% /data
    Overall size of schemas to be exported from SOURCE_DB is 150 GB. The same schemas on TARGET_DB takes 90GB. So difference is 60GB. Free space in datafiles in TARGET_DB is 30GB. Does it mean that in first place the free space in datafiles will be filled and after that datafiles would be extended? That would mean that a database would extend to 150GB and free space on /data would be 40 GB after refresh. Am I right?
    yes

  • How did my iPhone 4 get additional free space?

    iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.
    I synced my iPhone 4 to iTunes on a laptop by accident.  I told my iPhone that I didn't trust the computer, and then I unhooked the phone.  But before I did, I noticed on iTunes that I had 1.7 gigs of free space.  On the same day, earlier, I noticed I only had 1.5 gigs.  After I unhooked, I noticed it jumped to 1.9 and stayed on 1.8 gigs.  What the **** happened?  I looked at the apps and non of them were erased as to photos and music.  I checked the emails, text, and voice messages saved, and none of them were erase. 
    What happened?
    Additional info that may not be related, but...
    I am using this app, Battery Doctor, and it told me that I had 1.7 gigs of free space, which was not true when I went to settings/general.  It said 1.5 gigs available.
    I did delete a lot of apps the previous day, but I would assume that my iPhone 4 would have caught up to the extact or general ammount of free space I retained.

    Cleanfiles? Don't know nor ever used it. I've never used anything on my iPhone that isn't part of the ecosystem. No jailbreak... for now at least.

  • How to monitor network shares availability ?

    I have to develop indicators of availability. 
    I planned to create distributed applications for each indicator and generate reports. 
    On some applications, I have to watch the availability of a network share. 
    Have you already monitor shares availability ? 

    Thank you for your answers,
    I have already installed  this management pack, but on 30 network share, i have warning on 15. But it was no problem to access

    Did you test this MP in SCOM 2012 ?

  • How does Unix calculate "group" disk usage?

    I've been playing with implementing group quotas on 10.5 Server and the group usage statistics seem really low to me so I think my concept of how they are calculated must be wrong. I thought that the group usage would be a cumulative total of all the usage of everyone in that group, but clearly it is not.
    Can someone enlighten me or point me to a source that has the technical details of what's counted against the group usage and what's not?
    Thanks,
    =Tod

    It has been years since I played with quotas, and I've never played with Mac OS X quotas, however, it has been my experience, both as a user and as a Unix file system developer, that Group Quota information depends a lot on making sure that quotacheck has been run AFTER enabling quotas on a file system.
    Until quotas are enabled, may file systems do not keep track of group or per user quota information. So once they are enabled, you need to run quotacheck to build up the quota information database.
    What utility are you using to obtain your group storage information?

  • Activity Monitor shows wrong disk usage

    On my new MacBook Air (with Lion), Activity Monitor states I'm using 123 GB of the available 264 GB -- which is impossible, as it is still a "shadow" of my MacBook Pro, which only is using 107 GB of its 128 GB. Also, WhatSize on my Air is showing only 40 GB used... why would Activity Monitor be so wildly off -- or is there something else (possibly Lion-related) going on?

  • Exclude a disk from free space Alerts

    I recently enabled the alerts from server admin and all is good, except that on some of the servers, there's a disk that serves as a Time Machine destination for the network, so it's almost always full and well, I dont want/need to know about that, is there a way to exclude just that Drive?
    So far i found that it uses emond for the alerting and went through /etc/emond.d/rules/DiskStatus.plist but it has nothing specific for the mounted volumes and well the man page for emond is pretty useless

    Hi,
    I don't think the information about the host file systems is available from the Oracle data dictionary (V$ views).
    If you are writing a script to perform monitoring then you will have to use a host command to check the space available.
    If you are using 10/11g then the information you are after is available in Database control or Grid Control and can be monitored using the built in alerts.
