How to find server that is writing to particular pool
Our default pool is being written to, however we have a user-defined pool that all data should be written to as this user-defined pool is replicated. How would I find out what server is writing to this pool?
I can only think of looking at the .pea file on each server that points to the Centera to see the profile in use...
No Events found!

No easy way - Your way (checking pea files) will show the profile(s) used and then you can check
these to see what their home pools are. EMC Support ccould run an integrity check (a tool) which will
produce enumeration files which should also contain profile information which may help identify these.
This may be test data. If none of the profiles you use have the default pool as it's home pool, then you
can disable the anonymous profile to ensure future writes to the default pool do not happen.

Hi
If you see new data in form of clips and files being written to the default pool, there must be an application profile that has the default pool as home pool.
"sho pool detail default" in Centera Viewer CLI will list you the profiles that have access to the default pool. You can also see if there are profiles that have the default pool as home pool.
"sho registered app detail" with the profile will list the host that accesses the default pool if the application registers correctly.
The quick (and also not very friendly) way to find out who is writing to the default pool would be to perform a "set grants default applicationprofile" and to remove all capabilities (write, read and delete). After this your application is no longer able to write to Centera - which will surely make your application responsible react and get in touch with you.
