About LPAR storage correlation supported in Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager
Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager provides the support for storage correlation of VIO servers and clients. The storage correlation support for VIO servers and clients provides the information that is related to VIO servers and clients storage consumption at each layer. The following VIO server and clients-related information is provided:
Information about the assigned storage to the VIO client; whether the storage in the VIO client is directly assigned from the storage area network (SAN), or through a VIO server
Discovery of VIO servers and correlation of VIO server storage with the SAN.
Detail of the storage that is exported from the VIO server to the VIO client, and the mapping between the VIO server source device and the VIO client target device
Information about which VIO server participates in storage allocation to the VIO clients, and how much storage is allocated.
Information about how much storage is allocated to the VIO server, and how much storage is allocated to the VIO clients from that VIO server.
Information about how much of the allocated storage is consumed by the VIO client for various applications, and file systems.
