Monitoring The FluidFS NAS Solution
NOTE: The information in this chapter refers to file management using the NAS Manager. Block management and
monitoring is done using:

NX3610 NAS solution
• Enterprise Manager for Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS solution
You can monitor the status of the NAS solution using the Monitor tab in the NAS Manager. Here, you can view the
overall status of the system on the Dashboard page, see the quotas usage report, and receive remote replication job
status reports.
