# Monitoring volumes
You can see the volumes that are currently on your file system using the Amazon FSx console, the AWS CLI, and the Amazon FSx API and SDKs.
**To monitor the volumes on your file system:**
+ **Using the console** – Choose a file system to view the **File systems** detail page. Choose the **Volumes** tab to list all the volumes on the file system, and then choose the volume you want to view.
+ **Using the CLI or API** – Use the [describe-volumes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/fsx/describe-volumes.html) CLI command or the [DescribeVolumes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeVolumes.html) API operation.
```

# Viewing offline volumes
You can't create or delete volume backups when the source volume is offline. You can use the [https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9131/volume-show.html](https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9131/volume-show.html) ONTAP CLI command to determine a volume's current status.
```
volume show -vserver svm-name
```
For information about accessing the ONTAP CLI on your file system, see [Using the NetApp ONTAP CLI](managing-resources-ontap-apps.md#netapp-ontap-cli).
```
FsxIdabc12345::> volume show -vserver vs1
Vserver Volume Aggregate State Type Size Available Used%
--------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ---- ---------- ---------- -----
vs1 vol1 aggr1 online RW 2GB 1.9GB 5%
vs1 vol1_dr aggr0_dp online DP 200GB 160.0GB 20%
vs1 vol2 aggr0 online RW 150GB 110.3GB 26%
vs1 vol2_dr aggr0_dp online DP 150GB 110.3GB 26%
vs1 vol3 aggr1 online RW 150GB 120.0GB 20%

vs1 vol4 aggr1 online RW 200GB 159.8GB 20%
7 entries were displayed.
```
To bring an offline volume back online, use the [https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9131/volume-online.html](https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9131/volume-online.html) ONTAP CLI command, as shown in the following example. If only one SVM (Vserver) exists, you do not need to specify the `-vserver` parameter.
```
FsxID-abcdef123456::> volume online -volume volume_name -vserver svm_name
Volume 'vs1:vol1' is now online.
