Reclamation Summary
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 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:
Capacity Manager > Available or Reclaimable Storage > Reclamation Summary
Within this single report, you can visualize all the possible types of storage that potentially could be reclaimed. The Areas of Reclamation charts provide drilldowns to relevant details.
A pie chart illustrates potential reclamation categories.
The LUNS allocated but undiscovered link takes you to the Allocated But Undiscovered LUNs report. All other pie chart links are host related and therefore are described in the following tables.
For HP 3PAR: LUNs refer to Virtual Volumes and Volume Groups refer to Common Provisioning Groups.

Detail reports are related to a specific enterprise object, such as a backup job or SAN fabric. You can only access detail reports through a link presented in the context of a main report, providing additional information that augments the main report. Detail reports cannot be generated, customized, or saved, as they are specific to the report from which they were derived. Therefore, they will not be available in search results.
Use Quick search to find the main template, report or a dashboard by name. Search is case insensitive, supports partial entries, and will display a list of potential matches.
As you enter the template, dashboard or report name in the Quick Search field, up to 10 potential matches are displayed. If the result is shown, you can select and run it directly from the match list. You can also select All Items to display the full search results page and further filter your results.
You can use the Explorer tab to browse through the StorageConsole templates, dashboards and reports. The navigation pane displays templates organized by products along with user created, and system folders. The main report is located here:
