Improved Data Module file scanning

In CommandCentral Storage 5.0 MP1, the Data Module file scanner determines a file’s size by its logical size. Now, in CommandCentral Storage 5.1, the file scanner also collects a file’s physical size. A file’s physical size provides you with a more accurate account of space consumption over the logical size. You can use the Data Module Importer settings and Data Module rules to specify whether you want summary reports that report on directory size, user consumption, file type usage, and aging data to display a file’s size by its logical size or physical size. Additionally, you can drill down into detail reports to display both the logical size and physical size.

For more information, see the CommandCentral Administrator’s Guide.
