running reports on NAS shares
Hello All,
I have one question on how to run reports on the shares?I need to answer these to my customer . I did some research but and could not find a concrete way to do this. somebody told , i can try Windows MMC , but not if this can help run the report.
1) Are there any reports that can be run to show usage on the NAS by share or user?
2) What is the average % of available space on each share, i.e. are they running at 99%?
I 'll very much appreciate if someone can guide me on this.
Thnaks for your time!

There seem to be two questions you're asking - what is the usage by share and what is the usage per user. In other words, if you have \\SHAREA, \\SHAREB and \\SHAREC, what is User D's usage across those three shares.
Third-party software, such as Northern Storage Suite's Storage Report, has the hooks to generate those reports across the entire NAS. Otherwise, you might need to use multiple commands and do the math yourself. Take a look at the man page for nas_quotas. The command nas_quotas -report can give you the usage for a user or group on a particular filesystem or across the entire datamover. However, this is different from the total usage space in a filesystem. Depending on your layout, you'll need to use server_df to view the free space in a give filesystem. If you have multiple shares on the same filesystem and are not using tree quotas, you might have to use du or similar UNIX tools to see how much space is used in a filesystem.
Hope that helps!
