Host Capacity & Utilization
Use Quick 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 Quick 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.
Use the Explorer to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Use the Host Capacity and Utilization report to view an overview of host utilization to determine if there’s contention for storage. Typically, once you’ve reviewed this high-level report, you’ll want to access the details reported by the Host Utilization Detail.
In the report’s scope selector, the Host Type option can be used to include virtual servers in this host-based report: VM Server, VIO Server, or Others. To view a similar report for VM Guests, see the VM Summary report.
Host
The name of the host utilizing the storage. Click on a Host name link to view the Host Utilization Detail.
# of Allocated LUNs
The number of LUNs that have been allocated to this host. Click on this number to launch the LUN Utilization Summary.
Allocated Capacity
The total capacity of all Volumes both free and used that has been given to the host. When there is a significant discrepancy between the Allocated Capacity and the Seen by Host, it is an indication that there may be storage that can be reclaimable.
# of Used LUNs
LUNs that are currently used by the host. Click on this number to launch the LUN Utilization Summary.
Seen by Host
The sum of all SAN capacity actually deployed or accepted by the host. This is the storage that the host has been allocated and is using—but this use could be as simple as adding the storage to a volume group. It does not mean that the server has that storage mounted. Mounted storage is reflected in Total DAS/SAN.
# of Arrays
The total arrays associated with this host. Click on the number to launch the Array Capacity and Utilization.
Related Hosts
Hosts that are related to this host via clustering—they have multi-pathing to the same LUNs for fail over.
# Volumes
SAN/DAS
The number of SAN/DAS volumes.
NAS
The number of NAS volumes.
At Risk
The number of host volumes that are at risk of reaching capacity, based on configured thresholds. Click on the number link to view the Host Utilization Detail.
Volume Capacity
Shared
Represents the capacity that is shared by related hosts.
Unshared
Capacity that is not shared by related hosts.
Total DAS/SAN
Total of Shared and Unshared volume capacity.
DAS/SAN
DAS/SAN storage capacity for this host.
NAS
Total capacity of external, mounted filesystems (estimated).
Volume Usage
DAS/SAN
This is the actual amount of SAN/DAS storage used by the host.
NAS
The sum of currently allocated storage associated with external, mounted filesystems. The same NAS storage may be accounted for in multiple external filesystem mount points, resulting in double counting.
