Monitoring capacity of file systems

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
The Management Server console lets you monitor the usage of the file systems in your environment. To monitor the file system usage, you can set the High Usage Warning and the High Usage Risk thresholds. The High Usage Warning threshold triggers risk alert when the file system usage crosses the limit that you have specified. The High Usage Risk triggers the fault alert that needs your urgent attention.
To perform this operation on a Windows host, you need to install Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager managed host version 6.1 or later.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
