Scan a Storage Location


The Scan Storage Location feature allows you to manually update the statistical information for that storage location.

Statistics about extensible storage locations are maintained automatically by the DS-System. The values related to the Used size as well as the Used entries for extensible storage locations are accessible from the Extensible Storage Locations screen.

In case the values displayed by DS-System are not accurate, DS-System Administrators may trigger a scan process for an extensible storage location. The scan process will go through all the files from the DS-System Online storage structure, to retrieve and update the statistics (note the amount of time this might take).

1. Setup menu > Storage > Extensible Storage.

2. Highlight the Extensible Storage Location you want to update and click Scan.

3. The Scan Storage screen appears.

F1 Help: See "Scan Storage".

4. Click Start to begin the Storage Location Scan process.
