Storage Subsystems - Overview

Storage Subsystems reporting provides a mechanism for viewing storage capacity at a computer, filesystem, storage subsystem, LUN, and disk level. These reports also enable you to view the relationships among the components of a storage subsystem. Reports can be generated for ESS subsystems as well as IBM SAN Volume Controller clusters.

Note: Some of these reports will contain inaccurate information if the following configuration is used:

In this situation, Disks and LUNs will appear to belong to both the IBM SAN Volume Controller and the ESS subsystem, and will be counted twice in system-wide reports. To avoid this situation, CIM/OM access should be set up for only one of these resources.

You can view Storage Subsystem reports in the following ways:
