Hi,
I've quite a few FAS systems, mostly running HDD aggregates & some on SSD aggregates. These systems have been in use for ages & likely to have orphan or less used data on the volumes.
I'd like to find a way to scan volume data & identify files/directories that are infrequently used or cold? Is there a tool/script to do this on Netapp FAS systems?
I understand Fabric pool has a feature " Inactive data reporting" that can be leveraged however I DON'T use fabric pools.
I do have Netapp OCI installed. Can it be used for above use case? Is yes, please advise how?
Additionally, can Netapp's XCP tool be used for a such a task? I am also open to explore 3rd party tools - preferably open source.
I'd like to hear your views on how to go about achieving this task?
Regards,
Ashwin
