6.1 HP IBRIX X9000 Network Storage System CLI Reference (TA768-96057, June 2012)

ibrix_reports
Generates reports for data retention, utilization, and validation.
Description
The ibrix_reports command scans the file system and collects data for reports. There are three
types of reports:
• Data retention. This report lists ranges of retention periods and specifies the number of files
in each range.
• Utilization. This report summarizes how storage is utilized between retention states and free
space.
• Data validation. This report shows when files were last validated and reports any mismatches.
A mismatch can be either content or metadata.
You can generate a report for the entire file system or for individual tiers. (To generate a tiered
report, the file system must include at least one tier.)
You can display reports as PDFs or in csv format, which is suitable for importing into applications
such as spreadsheets. The latest PDF and csv files are saved in
/usr/local/ibrix/reports/output/<report type>/. Older CSV files are stored in a
folder on the file system and are tagged with the date. The folder is located at /{fsname}/
.archiving/reporting/history/{report_name}.
