You can use the NAS console to view files that have been transitioned to Infrequent Access (IA) or archive storage. The console also displays the storage usage for each class and the last access time for each file.
Background information
The NAS console displays only a list of files that have been transitioned to Infrequent Access (IA) or archive storage through lifecycle management. You cannot use the console to browse files in Standard storage. To view the files and directory structure in the Standard storage of a NAS file system, you must log on to an ECS instance where the file system is mounted and then use commands such as ls, find, and du to browse the directories.
