Examining in-cloud storage usage

Last published : Jun 10, 2026
After you migrate or reclaim data from cloud, you may want to check the storage usage. The vxcloudusage utility enables you to check the storage capacity consumed. The utility allows you to check the storage capacity consumed at the following levels:
  • cloud vendor-specific usage
  • cloud bucket-level usage
  • on-premise device usage of VxFS
The usage data includes details like number of files on cloud, number of objects created on cloud, and the total cloud storage usage in KBs.
To check the in-cloud storage usage:
#/opt/VRTS/bin/vxcloudusage``vxcloudusage -[b] mountpoint
To check the cloud vendor-specific usage:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxcloudusage /mnt1
For example,
CLOUD                  FILES           OBJECTS              SIZE(KB)
Onpremise              31105                 0                21
s3.amazonaws.com           5                20             10240
To check bucket-level usage:
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxcloudusage -b /mnt1
BUCKET/VOLT          CLOUD                  FILES         OBJECTS            SIZE(KB)
Onpremise            Onpremise              31105               0              21
optimusprime-test    s3.amazonaws.com           4              16            8192
optimusprime2        s3.amazonaws.com           1               4            2048
