Since we dont exactly monitor hundreds of filers, never seen the need for DFM.
The now website has something called "filer-mrtg". Its charts basic info like CPU usage, Network Interface Usage, vol usage, NFS/CIFS etc.
There is something called FilerView, http://your_filer/na_admin and Filer-At-A-Glance.
Maybe having multiple Filers warrants DFM.

Ben,
Ask your Netapp sales rep for a demo installation of DFM (Data Fabric Manager) 2.0. Once you've seen it, you'll find a way to buy it.
DFM 2.0 runs on Win2K or Solaris and can scale to monitor hundreds of filers. It has a CLI interface which can be used to manipulate filers, but it also provides nice-looking graphics for you to show to management (i.e. disk space trending, etc).
