BMC AMI Storage obtains the data for the data set summary reports from the master collection data set. You can filter the data sets shown on the report by using the following values for the RESTYPE parameter with the SETSRM command:

  • (H) filters by high-level qualifier
  • (G) filters by storage group and pool
  • (A) filters by application
  • (M) filters by SMS Management class
  • (I) filters by high-level qualifier and storage group and pool
Example

For example, to filter the report by storage groups and pools you would issue the following command:

SETSRM RESTYPE(G)
