file. To view license status, open the GUI of the
StorNext MDC set up to monitor and provide the Gateway Metrics
Reports for your G300. Click the
Connected Licensed Gateways
link at the bottom of the License page in the GUI of the host MDC,

The Gateway Metrics
Report
You can view the
Gateway Metrics Report
to monitor performance and
throughput on your gateways, clients, and file systems from the
Reports > Gateway Metrics
menu option on the GUI of a StorNext
MDC set up to monitor your G300 system. Because you can see at a
glance which gateways, clients, or file systems are currently under- or
over-utilized, the
Gateway Metrics Report
is a useful tool for
understanding LAN network and client performance characteristics. For
more information, see the latest version of the
StorNext User’s Guide
, or

Gateway
Metrics Report
