Viewing storage reclamation by storage system
Use the reclamation view of storage systems for detailed information about the reclaimable capacity in your data center. You can see the savings that can be made by reclaiming capacity for tiered and non-tiered storage and view information about the storage systems that contain the reclaimable volumes.
Before you begin
- Add the storage systems for monitoring and schedule a storage systems probe.
- If your storage environment is configured for storage tiers, ensure that the amount of unused capacity on tier one is minimal.
By default, the period for analyzing performance data, which is used for generating reclamation recommendations, is set to 14 days. For a more thorough analysis, you can change this period.
About this task
View reclamation information about storage systems that contain volumes that are analyzed and recommended for reclamation.
Procedure
- From the Advanced Analytics menu, click Reclamation.
- On the View by Storage Systems page, view the charts and table for information about reclaimable storage space and for information about the storage systems that contain the reclaimable volumes.
Results
On the reclamation donut chart, you can view the amount of capacity that can be reclaimed and the amount of capacity that can't be reclaimed. If you defined storage tiers, you can view the amount of storage that can be saved for each tier. You can also see an estimate of the storage space that can be saved when the volumes of the storage systems that are listed in the table are reclaimed.
On the reclamation bar chart, view the amount of storage space that can be reclaimed on each storage system in your data center.
In the table, view space, capacity, and reclamation information about each storage system.
