File System Space Used

Tony Antkowiak — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 10:11:49 GMT

I have a ML370 and a 5304 array controller...
I am using the HP System Management agent v7.30...

when I look at the "File System Space used" I am getting this...

Drive Used Free Total
C: [NTFS] 6232 MB 11092 MB 17324 MB
E: [NTFS] 56112 MB 152276 MB 208388 MB
G: [NTFS] 893504 MB 912548 MB 1806052 MB

NOTE: G drive is 28-72.8g drives broken up by 14 + 14 raid 5 sets then spanned in W2K3 sp1

when I look at the bars showing what % they use I am getting...

C: = 35%... this is right
E: = 26%... this is right
G: = 3% ... This is NOT right

any explainations or help on this??

Thanks

I'm going to guess that no one ever considered testing with a nearly 2TB volume. I'll pass this on to the product manager.

Just a note...
I also had a 4200 controller with 881g set...
it was broken up in 2 raid5 sets... the 4200 could not handle 14 72s at the same time and it also was basically the same thing...
the array was spanned in w2k3 and still reported back less than what was actually being used.

OK... I got the OK to upgrade to the 7.40 agent from my Server IT department...

This seems to fix the problem with the % being reported wrong...

Thanks...

Sorry NO POINTS WILL BE GIVEN OUT on this one since no one helped me
