OS Vers 6.4.0 Release Notes - Help on "global snapshot space consumption metrics".

[BaJohn]

Release notes for OS 6.4.0 item 5 states.

"Added global snapshot space consumption metrics in the local admin GUI Shares page."

I have looked and cannot find anything to do with 'snapshot space consumption' on the Shares page.

Could someone point me in a more specific direction to find this information.

I use quite a few snapshots and would like to know what percentage/MBs they consume.

In Volumes there will be Consumed Snapshot capacity . That should be the global Snapshots space used .

[BaJohn]

There is no 'Volumes' under the Shares tab?

There are 3 ways to view the global snapshot space consumption:

1: System - Overview. There is a volume icon with an indicator bar showing volume usage. Hovering the mouse over this bar will give a breakdown including space used by snapshots.

2: System - Volumes. This gives a pie chart of volume usage and beside it are figures indicating the actual amounts used.

3: Shares. On the left hand side is an indicator bar showing the volume usage. Same as #1 above.

Ways 1 and 3 do NOT WORK as hovering does nothing.

Way 2 seems identical with my previous version 6.2.4 with no additional information.

ANYBODY GOT THIS TO WORK?

[BaJohn]

Ok - I HAVE GOT IT TO WORK.

How did I do that?

Well the secret was  ...... wait for it .... "wait for it".

Yep took between 31 and 37 hours for the information to be displayed exactly as described above in the 3 ways.

It would have been helpful if this was stated that the data MAY not be available for some time after the update.

Do we know when and how often the generation of this data takes place,

i.e. at update and every creation/deletion of a snapshot, or once per day etc?

[anna_arun]

Clearing the Browser Cache after moving from 6.2.4 to 6.4.0 would have shown the Space used by snapshot immediatly.
