Solaris Zone Details dashboard


The Solaris Zone Details dashboard provides the configuration and capacity-specific details of the selected zone. You can use this information to analyze the zone capacity.

Important

Do not make the dashboard editable by using the Make editable option in the dashboard settings. If you want to customize the dashboard, we recommend that you create a copy of the dashboard and customize it.

The dashboard displays the capacity usage trend in charts. The GIB, MIB, or TIB units specified in the charts are the same as GB, MB, or TB.

To view the Solaris Zone Details dashboard

  1. Open BMC Helix Dashboards from BMC Helix Portal.
  2. From the navigation menumenu_icon.png, click Dashboards.
  3. Search for the Helix Continuous Optimization folder and select it.
  4. Click Solaris Zone Details.
  5. From the Zone list, select a zone to view its capacity-specific details.
