For large Netapp volumes where 64 bit counters would be appropriate, but Netapp 
doesn't support them, a Netapp stores used blocks across two 32bit SNMP oids: 
dfHighUsedKBytes and dfLowUsedKBytes.

I've successfully used these in a custom data collector and in an altered 
utilization graph for Netapp filesystems. So, on my OS tab, I can now see the 
proper amount of 'Total bytes' and if I click on a filesystem, the graph is 
correct. However, what's incorrect is 'Used Bytes' on the OS tab. This is due 
to the fact that this page looks for 'usedBlocks' as collected by the 
FileSystem template. usedBlocks is a single OID Data Source, but to get it to 
work properly, it needs to be able to use the same algorithms I've used in the 
data collector and custom graphs...

So, how can an SNMP Data Source like 'usedBlocks' be configured to use multiple 
SNMP oids to create a calculated result? For those of you with NetApps and 
large volumes, how have you solved this problem?

Thanks!
