Capacity Manager scope selector settings
The availability of the selections, options within the selections, and default values for the options vary from report to report because not all selections and options apply to all reports.
Storage Arrays | Lists all storage arrays that the Data Collectors identified. Expanding the top-level folder enables access to other folders for:
|
Hosts | Use this filter to specify what data will be included in a report.
|
Host Type | Indicates how a host has been commissioned in an enterprise, such as VM Guest, VM Server, VIO Guest, VIO Server, or Other. This selection enables reporting of various types of virtual hosts. |
Start Date / End Date | If you want a static report, specify a start and end date in the date format: MM/DD/YYYY. If you want a dynamic report--that is, a report that changes as the underlying data changes--do not specify a start and end date, as the default always represents the current day. |
Threshold | For Capacity At Risk reports only, limit the report output to a threshold category:
|
Group By | Use the drop-down list to specify how you want the data in the bar charts or tables to be grouped. The available options are dependent on the type of report. Some reports group by time, while others group data by either host, client, or policy. |
Cascade into sub-groups | The scope selector default is to cascade to all child sub-groups when generating the report. If you prefer to report ONLY on the host group you selected, then uncheck Cascade into sub-groups. |
Filter by Common Attributes | Select this checkbox to have the report scope display attributes using "AND" logic. By selecting this feature, the report will display those results with the intersection of the selected criteria. If this checkbox is not selected, the report will display attributes using "OR" logic. For example, if you select attribute values, Campbell, Engineering, Cost Center 1 and select , the report will display only the results that contain all 3 attribute values. If you do not select , the report will display all results with attributes Campbell, Engineering, or Cost Center 1. |
