Viewing capacity within deduplication container files

A command reports on storage usage within containers.

Tthe path name of the command is install_path\Veritas\pdde\Crcontrol.exe.

The following is an example of the command usage. The command shows the data store statistics (--dsstat option).

C:\Program Files\Veritas\pdde>Crcontrol.exe --dsstat 1

************ Data Store statistics ************
Data storage	 Size   Used  Avail Use%
				68.4G  46.4G  22.0G  68%
Number of containers			 : 67
Average container size		 : 187441541 bytes (178.76MB)
Space allocated for containers   : 12558583274 bytes (11.70GB)
Space used within containers	 : 12551984871 bytes (11.69GB)
Space available within containers: 6598403 bytes (6.29MB)
Space needs compaction		 : 508432 bytes (0.48MB)
Records marked for compaction	: 3
Active records				 : 95755
Total records					: 95758

The NetBackup Deduplication Manager periodically compacts the space available inside the container files. Therefore, space within a container is not available as soon as it is free. Various internal parameters control whether a container file is compacted. Although space may be available within a container file, the file may not be eligible for compaction. The NetBackup Deduplication Manager checks for space every 20 seconds.

For help with the command options, use the --help option.
