Exporting information about capacity shortages in pools

To include information about the capacity of your resources in reports, use the reporting feature in IBM Spectrum® Control.

You check the capacity of pools on your SAN Volume Controller storage system and see that the capacity of some of the pools is nearly depleted. So, you decide to notify your colleagues by including information about the pools in a report.

  1. Click Storage > Block Storage Systems.
  2. Double-click the storage system and click Pools in the navigation pane.
  3. On the Pools page, right-click one of the column headings and click Zero Capacity.
    Tip: If you want to export information only about the pools that are depleted, click Filter icon, select Zero Capacity, and type Depleted in the filter Filter by column field field. When a capacity limit is set, the pool is considered to be Depleted when the capacity limit is reached.
  4. Click Actions and choose one of the options.

You can get information about the capacity of the pools, whether the pools are depleted, and when the pools will become depleted.
