Generating Reports
Storage Capacity Views and Reports for TrueSight Capacity Optimization comes with pre-built storage reports to help you provision with confidence and take the best allocation decisions.
To generate storage reports:
- Log on to the TrueSight Capacity Optimization console.
- Make sure the reports are deployed.
- Navigate to Workspace > All Domains > Your Domain > Works.
- Click the storage report you wish to generate:
- Storage Systems Overview to get an overall overview of your storage systems (storage capacity, bandwidth utilization, transfer, etc.).
- Storage Pools Overview to get an overall overview of your storage pools (storage capacity, capacity and traffic distribution).
- Storage Allocation to help you provision and take the best allocation decisions.
- (Optional) Modify the entity filter, the time filter, or the time resolution:
- Click the analysis for which you wish to modify its filters.
- Click Edit.
- Modify the parameters required.
- Click Save.
- In the Results section, click the output format required (e.g.: pdf).
You can refer to the tables below to know which analyses and models come with the pre-built storage reports:
Analysis/Model | Description |
|---|---|
Overview | |
Top 3 - Storage Systems - Consumed Capacity % | This graph displays the 3 storage systems with the highest consumed capacity percentage for an average day. |
Storage Systems - Configuration Details | This table provides information about the Storage Systems configuration such as the number of attached hosts, the number of storage array ports, the number of system bandwidth, etc. |
For each Storage System | |
Storage Systems - Capacity Summary Table | This table provides the minimum, maximum, and average values observed over the last 30 days for the Available Capacity [MIN], Available Capacity for storage pools [MIN], Available Capacity in storage pools [MIN], Storage Capacity [AVG], Storage Consumed Capacity [AVG], and Storage Subscribed Capacity [AVG] metrics of each storage system. |
Storage Systems - Capacity Summary Timeline | Same information as for the Storage Systems - Capacity Summary Table but presented as a timeline. |
Storage Systems – Transfer Byte Rate | This graph displays the total bytes transferred per second over the last 30 days for each storage system. |
Storage Systems – Bandwidth Utilization | This graph displays the percentage of the bandwidth used over the last 30 days for each storage system. |
Storage Systems – I/O Operation Rate | This graph displays the total number of I/O operations per second observed for each storage system. |
Analysis/Model | Description |
|---|---|
Top 10 - Storage Systems - Available Capacity in Storage Pools | This graph displays the 10 storage systems with the highest amount of capacity available in their storage pools to create storage volumes. |
Top 10 - Storage Systems - Subscribed Capacity | This graph displays the 10 storage systems from which the highest amount of capacity has been subscribed. |
Storage Pools - Capacity Summary | This table provides the minimum, maximum, and average values observed over the last 30 days for the Available Capacity [MIN], Pool Subscribed Capacity, Storage Capacity [AVG], and Storage Consumed Capacity [AVG] metrics of each storage pool. |
Top 10 - Storage Volumes - Consumed Capacity per Storage Pool | This graph displays the capacity distribution of each storage pool across storage volumes for the last 30 days. |
Top 10 Storage Volumes - Transfer Byte Rate per Storage Pool | This graph displays the traffic distribution of each storage pool across storage volumes for the last 30 days. |
Analysis/Model | Description |
|---|---|
Overview | |
Top 3 - Storage Systems - Available Capacity for Storage Pools | This graph displays the 3 storage systems with the highest amount of capacity available to create storage pools. |
Top 10 - Storage System - Available Capacity in Storage Pools | This graph displays the 10 Storage Systems with the highest amount of capacity available in their storage pools to create storage volumes. |
For each Storage Pool | |
Storage Pools - Capacity Summary | This graph displays the Storage Capacity, Available Capacity, Consumed Capacity, and Subscribed Capacity metrics observed over the last 30 days. |
Forecast: Storage Pools Consumed Capacity - Next two months | This time forecasting model predicts how much capacity will be consumed over the next 2 months based on the behavior observed over the last 3 months. |
