FSA Reporting provides summary reports on the active data on your file servers, and on the data that has been archived from them. The FSA reports include data on a wide range of items including the following:
The number of archived files for each file server, and the space used and saved as a result of archiving. You can also view the hundred largest files in a volume.
Active and archived space usage by different file groups, per server and per archive point.
Numbers of unaccessed or duplicated files, and the space they are occupying.
Many of the reports can provide either an overall view for all file servers with FSA Reporting configured, or a detailed view for a named file server.
In order to access FSA Reporting's reports, the Enterprise Vault Reporting component must be installed and configured on a machine with the required prerequisites, including Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services. You use the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Manager Web application to view the reports.
In order to set up FSA Reporting you must also do the following:
Configure an FSA Reporting database and set up default data collection schedules.
Install the FSA Agent on NTFS servers from which you want to gather data. (The FSA Agent services run on the Enterprise Vault server for NetApp file servers and Celerra devices.)
Configure individual file servers to specify whether data is to be collected, and to specify a non-default collection schedule.
If required, specify whether data is to be collected on individual volumes.
