Obtaining statistics on data usage in the cloud tier

You can find the following information for data stored in the cloud tier:

  • Storage utilization in the cloud

  • Number of the objects that are stored in the cloud

  • Number of the files that are stored in the cloud

See the storage_tier man page for detailed examples.

To show the total data usage in the cloud tier

  • Show the total data usage in the cloud tier.
    Storage> tier stats usage fs_name
					tier_name

    Unlike the Storage> tier stats show command, these statistics are persistent across reboots.

    Example:

    Storage> tier stats usage fs1 cloudtier
Storage Utilized   :223.1GB
Number of objects  :488
Number of files    :231

    This example shows that 223.1 GB is used in the cloud tier. Based on the size of the file, each file is chunked to multiple objects when moved to the cloud, so 231 files were stored as 488 objects in the cloud.

To display vendor specific cloud usage

  • Show the vendor specific cloud usage.
    Storage> cloud usage

    Example:

    Storage> cloud usage
SCLOUD         Files  Objects  Size(Bytes)
