Computer Views - By Computer

Use this report to view the relationships between the computers and the storage subsystems, LUNS, and disks in your environment.

To generate a report for the relationship you want to view, select an item from the Relate Computers to: field on the Selection tab. The Selection tab appears when you left-click the Reporting --> Storage Subsystems --> Computer Views --> By Computer node. For more information about this tab, see Selecting an Object.

The following section describes the fields that appear on the report based on the options selected on the Selection tab.

Storage Subsystem

The following fields appear on the By Computer report if you selected Storage Subsystems from the Relate Computers to: field on the Selection tab. Use this report to view information about computers using space on Storage Subsystems.

Field Name

Description

Computer

name of a computer using storage on a storage subsystem or IBM SAN Volume Controller

Storage Subsystem

name/alias of a storage subsystem or IBM SAN Volume Controller

Storage Subsystem Type

type of storage subsystem, such as IBM ESS

Physical Allocation

total amount of disk space consumed (overhead + capacity)

LUN Capacity

storage capacity of all LUNs visible to (surfaced on) each reported computer

Allocated LUN Space

storage capacity of a LUN minus a LUNs unallocated space

Unallocated LUN Space

LUN capacity assigned to each computer minus the space that has been allocated to a logical volume

LUNs

The following fields appear on the By Computer report if you selected LUNs from the Relate Computers to: field on the Selection tab. Use this report to view the computers using space on LUNs.
