Host to Storage Dashboard
Use Search to find a template, report or dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the name in the Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the template, report or dashboard is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also click All Items in the match list to go directly to the Search Results.
StorageConsole provides different navigation options to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using the APTARE customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. The Inventory Navigator serves as a browser for your infrastructure by object type. See also

This four-portlet interactive dashboard initially presents a list of host-to-storage paths in the upper left portlet. The other three portlets remain blank until a host is selected. Each time you select a host, the upper right portlet displays a topology map of the host-to-storage configuration.
Topology Features
This topology represents the connections from a particular host to arrays providing storage to the host.
