Application Related Resources

Related resources are resources in the storage environment that the application is using or is connected to.

Use the application details page to view information about the following resources that are related to the monitored applications:
Important:

When you add a resource to an application, only that resource is added as a member. The resource is displayed in Members and Properties. The related resources of a member resource are not included as members or shown in Properties of the application, but are displayed in Related Resources. To add related resources as members to the application, you must manually add them or set up a specific filter.

For example, when you add a host to an application, you can see only that host as a member and in Properties of that application. The related volumes of that host are not added as members or shown in Properties of the application. Instead, they will be listed in Related Resources.

Storage Systems

Entries for the storage systems and their internal resources that provide storage to the application are displayed in Related Resources. The number in parentheses next to each entry shows the number of those storage systems or internal resources that provide storage. For example, Block Storage Systems (2) means that two block storage systems provide storage to the application; Volumes (5) means that five volumes on the storage system are providing that storage.

A storage system is shown as a related resource for the application when any of the following conditions are met:
  • A host that was added to the application is assigned storage from the storage system.
  • A hypervisor that was added to the application is assigned storage from the storage system.
  • A volume that was added to the application belongs to the storage system.
  • A file system that was added to the application is using storage from the storage system.
  • A fileset that was added to the application belongs to the storage system.
  • A share that was added to the application is using storage from the storage system.
  • A data store that was added to the application is using storage from the storage system.
  • A volume group that was added to the application is using storage from the storage system.
  • A vault that was added to the application contains storage from the object storage system.
To view information about the storage systems or internal resources that provide storage, click its entry. The following information is displayed for the different types of storage systems:

Hosts

An entry for host is displayed for an application when any of the following conditions are met:
  • The host was added to the application.
  • A volume that was added to the application is assigned to the host.
  • A share that was added to the application is mounted on the host.
  • A share that was added to the application is exported by the host.
  • A file system that was added to the application belongs to the host.
  • A file system that was added to the application uses storage that is exported by the host.
  • A volume group that was added to the application belongs to the host.

The number next to Hosts shows the number of hosts used by the application that were added to one or more applications, or inferred as a result of adding other resources such as volumes or shares, for example, Hosts (2).
