Transcription

1 Capacity Charting with Spectrum Control Christoph Reichert IBM Spectrum Control Software Development IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH

2 Overview of historic Capacity Charting Detect capacity shortages and space usage trends over time Understand when to run out of storage and future storage need Various metrics available Support for Block Storage Systems, Pools and Volumes Tiers and Servers Support for NAS File Systems, File System Pools and Filesets One data point/sample per day 2

3 Live Demo This session will be held as a Live Demo Following slides are mainly screenshots for future reference 3

4 Launch Capacity Charts for Block Storage Systems From Storage/Block Storage Systems overview Select one or more Storage Systems, Right-click View Capacity or click Capacity Tab 4
