• # SAN Clients: The number of StorNext SAN clients (connected via 

fibre channel or iSCSI) for which you are licensed

• # LAN Clients: The number of StorNext distributed LAN clients for 

which you are licensed. For more information about distributed LAN 

clients, see 

• Status: The status shows the system status (usage) in percent in 

addition to low and high watermark settings. The low watermark 

specifies the level of used disk space that is acceptable to end 

overflow processing. The high watermark specifies the level of used 

disk space that initiates overflow processing. In the above example, 

the system usage is less than 10% with 75% set as the low watermark 

and 85% set as the high watermark. (High and low watermarks do 

not apply to non-managed file systems.)

The Library Monitor enables you to view library and drive information 

on each library. When you open a browser to access StorNext, the Library 

Monitor appears below the File System Monitor.

Figure 4  Library Monitor

The Library Monitor provides the following information:

• Refresh: Click this button to manually refresh the Library Monitor

The #Store Candidates and # Trunc Candidates fields show 

“N/A” for a non-managed file system. For a managed file 

system, if these fields show “refresh,” click the Refresh button 

to retrieve current information for these fields.

Overflow processing occurs when the system processes 

beyond the set watermark limitations.
