Storage Array Enterprise Object Scope Selector Components
The following scope selector components are specific to the Storage Array enterprise object. Note that some of these components are specific to a storage array vendor/product.
Array Disk Class | Specify array disk classes to be included in the report scope. |
Array RAID Types | Enables selection of specific, relevant RAID types, such as RAID_5_6+P. |
Array States | Specify storage array states to be included in the report scope. |
Arrays Scope | Specify storage arrays to be included in the report scope. |
Byte Size | Select the units for capacity values; for example, TB or PB. |
Celerra VNX Volume Types | Include specific Celerra volume types, such as Slice, Stripe, Meta, Disk, and Pool, in a report. |
Custom Filter | Define free-form fields that enable data filtering at run time. When the report is run, the Scope Selector displays the fields that can be selected to specify values to filter the report results. When the Custom Filter is selected, the report template is restricted to one product only. |
Data Point Image | Enable the display of a circle of each data point in a line chart. This allows for quick identification of roll-over information in the chart. |
Disk Classes | Report on specific disk classes, such as enterprise fibre channel drives (ENT) or Nearline ATA drives (NL). |
Disk Stages | Enable selection of specific disk states, such as Installing, Formatting, or Rebuilding. |
Disk Type | Enable selection of specific disk types, such as FC, SCSI, or SATA. |
Disk Usage | Enable selection of specific disk usage types, such as Unconfigured or Spare. |
Extent Pool Storage Types | Enables selection of specific, relevant Extent Pool storage types, such as fixed block. |
File System Types | Include specific file system types, such as Unix, Raw, and Mirror, in a report. |
Group By | Enables selection of a time span to be used to group the data by: Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Quarters, or Years. When using Group By, in general, an aggregation function, such as sum, min, or max, should be included in the report template definition. |
Group Chart By | Enables selection of Chart Per Object (each chart is for a single object, with one or more metric lines) or Chart Per Metric (each chart is for one metric, with one or more objects represented as lines). This is a required scope selector component if the report template includes a field of type, Group by Object. |
Hard Empty Percentage | For IBM XIV storage pools, enable the selection of a utilization % that provides an indicator of empty physical pool capacity. |
Hard Near Capacity Percentage | For IBM XIV storage pools, enable selection of a utilization % that provides an indicator of reaching physical pool capacity. |
Hard Over-Provisioned High Percentage | For IBM XIV storage pools, enable selection of a utilization % that provides the high-end indicator for the range of over-provisioned physical pool capacity. |
Hard Over-Provisioned Low Percentage | For IBM XIV storage pools, enable selection of a utilization % that provides the low-end indicator for the range of over-provisioned physical pool capacity. |
HDS DP Pool IDs | HDS dynamic provisioning pool IDs. |
HDS DP Type | HDS dynamic provisioning type. |
HDS Open Reserved | HDS Open Reserved. |
Hosts | Specify hosts to be included in the report scope. |
IBM Array Site Disk Classes | Enable specification of IBM array site disk classes in a report. For example, ENT or NL. |
IBM Array Site States | Enable specification of IBM array site states in a report. For example, Assigned, Unassigned, or Unavailable. |
IBM Extent Pool IDs | Unique Identifier for the IBM extent pool. |
IBM Rank IDs | List of IBM rank IDs. |
In Use | For EMC VNX (Celerra) SnapSure data, provide a selection to include data for checkpoints that are in use. A checkpoint is in use if a filesystem is registered in the mount table of a Data Mover. |
Line Selector | If multiple lines are defined in a line chart template, this component enables the user to select the line to be shown in the chart. |
LUN Status | Enable selection of the LUN status to be included in the report. For example, Allocated but Unused or Allocated but undiscovered. |
Maximum Legends for Pie Chart | Specify the maximum number of sectors for pie chart rendering. |
Qtree Status | Enable selection of the NetApp Qtree status to be included in the report. For example, Snap Vaulted or Read Only. |
RAID State | Enable selection of one or more array states, such as partner, zeroing, or reconstructing. |
RAID Status | Enable selection of one or more raid status, such as normal, copying, reconstruct. |
RAID Type | RAID type. |
Rank Array States | Enable specification of IBM Rank states in a report. For example, Below, Exceeded, or Full. |
Rank RAID Types | Include specific IBM Rank RAID types, such as fixed block, in a report. |
Rank Status | Select an IBM rank status for report filter; for example, normal, configuring, unassigned, or reserved. |
Security Style | Enable selection of the NetApp security style to be included in the report. For example, Unix, NTFS, or Mixed. |
Session ID | Unique Identifier for the HPDP Session |
Snapshot Busy | Choose to report data for NetApp Snapshot busy state: Yes or No. |
Snapshot Only | Snapshot Only |
Soft Near Capacity Percentage | For IBM XIV storage pools, enable selection of a utilization % that provides an indicator of reaching virtual (thin-provisioned) pool capacity. |
Space Guarantee | Select a space guarantee for NetApp volumes; for example, volume, file, or none. |
Thin-Provisioned | Included thin-provisioned array storage in the report scope. |
Time Period | Provides a drop-down list to specify a time span, such as last 90 days or previous month. |
Top/Bottom | Narrow the scope to the greatest/least values based on a given metric. |
Volume Styles | Include specific volume style, such as flex, striped, infinitevol. |
Volume Type | Select a NetApp volume type, such as flex or trad. |
