The Storage Array Capacity Trend Summary report displays graphs showing usage data for three kinds of array storage. With the graphs, you can easily see trends—for example, overall growth or decline in usage and times of peak usage.
The graphs display trends for:
Overall array capacity usage: Storage consumption for all storage in arrays, as well as consumption for configured storage, LUN storage ready to be allocated to hosts, allocated storage, unallocated storage, and claimed storage.
Configured storage distribution: The total amount of physical storage that is configured, how much is apportioned into LUNs and ready for allocating to hosts, how much is available for apportioning into new LUNs, and how much is devoted to RAID (logical) overhead.
LUN storage distribution: How much LUN storage is used by administrative LUNs, how much is used by replication-specific LUNs, and how much is allocated to hosts.
For definitions of the various storage categories, such as configured storage and allocated storage,
By default, the graphs show trends over the most recent three-month period. Use the Time drop-down list to set a longer or shorter time period.
Using Customize and Save, you can change the report scope so that it shows data for a specific set of arrays or for the whole enterprise.
