Survey: What DAOS commands/info do you need?

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

We’re looking for feedback from administrators using DAOS. Do you have what you need to do your job?

DAOS provides information about the status of the repository (tell daosmgr status), and through the admin client views (DAOS on/off, # bytes in DAOS), and the state of DAOS can be manipulated using compact and daosmgr.

If you’ve been using DAOS, what information/commands do you feel are missing (or need improvement) that would prevent or delay implementing DAOS in your production environment?

THANKS!!!

Subject: Provide a command that allows to identify the NSF from an NLO object

I had a case where a user attempted to save a mail with a 340 MB attachment several times. This 340 MB file was added to the DAOS directory 10 times. We managed to identify the user causing this in the file view in the admin client based on the huge DAOS size and the fact we had only started to use DAOS. I can imagine that for a smaller file size and with more objects in daos, we might need a server command that would allow to list the nsf files taht are linked to an NLO object

Subject: Identify NSF from NLO

I support Jos’s proposal. We ran into the same problem (with a small file) and we couldn’t find any easy way to identify which database was holding the references.

We finally managed to do it using the LISTNLO command and scripting.

I documented the steps here:

This is a real requirement and should be easy to address by DAOS commands.

Thanks.

Subject: Integration into Activity Trends…

…would be pretty useful, I think. The database inventory should show both the logical size and the physical size for each database, plus being able to trend the growth of the DAOS store itself would be invaluable for capacity planning.

We’ll see what we can do…

Subject: Ability to exclude certain database files

It would be good if we could exclude a database as I have one important db that has duplicate attachment names, but the actual attachments are different.

Subject: more information about prune

can we please have verbose information in the server log about how many documents have been pruned.
