Veritas Operations Manager Storage Insight Add-on for Deep Array Discovery and Mapping, with its deep array discovery capabilities, provides you the detailed information on the storage enclosures in the datacenter. The Storage Insight Add-on lets you view the detailed storage information on an enclosure to the level of adapters and disks. Also, you can perform storage management operations on the level of adapters and disks.
As part of its deep array discovery capabilities, the Storage Insight Add-on lets you manage the following enclosures:
After you configure deep discovery for these enclosures, the discovery happens once every six hours and the Veritas Operations Manager database is updated accordingly.
Note: |
To perform deep array discovery of enclosures, you require the access to storage views and operations. |
After the Storage Insight Add-on performs the deep discovery of enclosures, you can view the following types additional information on the details page of each enclosure:
Apart from providing deeper insight on your enclosures, the Storage Insight Add-on also lets you define the tiers for the LUNs in the datacenter. The tiering of LUNs supports the Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), which manages the data by putting them into different types of storage media according to various parameters. Also, the Storage Insight Add-on lets you perform the maintenance of the Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) paths in the level of array ports and adapters.
You can configure a UNIX control host 3.1 on a UNIX 3.1 Management Server that has Storage Insight Add-on.
