Adding an IBM Modular Array Data Collector Policy
Capacity Manager supports the following IBM storage arrays. When configuring Data Collector Policies, the 3000 and 4000 Series are referred to as the IBM Modular series and the 6000 and 8000 Series are referred to as the IBM Enterprise series.
The LSI-based arrays include IBM DS/ESS and Sun StorageTek series, as well as SGI InfiniteStorage and Teradata Storage Systems.
