Tutorial: Creating a predefined capacity report about storage systems

Create, schedule, and send predefined capacity reports about your storage systems by email, to keep your colleagues informed about capacity usage and to help them plan capacity and prevent capacity shortages.

1. Click Reports, and then click Create Report.
2. In the Capacity Reports section, click Block Storage Systems.
3. Enter the unique name of the report.
4. To specify the range of the report, choose one of the following options:
   

   Option	Description
   Capacity information about all of the storage systems	Generate capacity information about all of the block, file, and object storage systems in your storage environment.
   Capacity information about one or more storage systems	Generate information about a set of storage systems.
   Capacity information about the storage systems that are assigned to a group	Generate information about the storage systems that were assigned to a group such as the production, preproduction, or test platforms general group.

5. Add and remove columns to choose the capacity and any other information that you want to include in the report.
6. Add up to four filters to deliver the capacity information that the report's recipients need.
   

   Tip: To make sure that the report's recipients get the information that you want them to get, use the report preview feature. Each time you apply a filter, or make a configuration change to the report, such as add or remove a column or filter, the table view of the report is refreshed.
7. Send the report now or schedule the report to be sent regularly, such as every week, or month.
   Instead of including the report in the email, you can attach the report to the email as a CSV, PDF, or HTML file.
