Introduction
Storage Arrays are identified and returned by Device42 Storage Arrays autodiscovery. Storage Arrays also display their resource details, related resources, and topology map.
View All Storage Arrays
Select Resources > Storage > Arrays from the Device42 menu to display the storage arrays list.
Device42 displays the Storage Arrays list page. On this page, you can Search by name, or filter the list by Type.
Note: The Storage Arrays list page also includes an Advanced Search option you can use to construct more specific searches. See the Advanced Search Feature documentation page for instructions.
Click on an array Name to see details about that array. You can use the links in the panel on the right to see details about that related resource.
View Storage Arrays Mapped to Devices
Devices that have attached storage arrays display links to those arrays in the Parts tab of the device view page. The example below shows the Parts tab of a physical device with links to storage.
Click on a Parts link to see that resource (in this case a LUN).
Resource Maps and Trends Graphs
Click Resource Map at the top left of the page to see the topography map for the array. You can select which Resource Types you want to include in the map.
Click Trends at the top left of the page to see graphs for data such as Read Data Rate, Write Data Rate, IOs Rate, etc., for the storage array.
Select the Available Metrics drop-down to choose which Trends charts you want to see.
