Finding an Element’s Storage Capacity356
• The Capacity Manager displays the total capacity of an application, including the network
drives. If you look at the capacity of the application in Chargeback Manager, the capacity
differs. Chargeback Manager provides only network capacity with the exception of Windows
2000 hosts. See ”How Capacity Differs in Chargeback Manager and Capacity Manager” on
page 656 for more information.
• Volume names from ambiguous automounts on Solaris hosts are not displayed in Capacity
Manager. See ”Volume Names from Ambiguous Automounts Are Not Displayed” on page 698.
• Capacity Manager takes extra time to load the first time you access it after restarting the
management server. The extra time is required for the management server to calculate the
element capacity data. Capacity Manager loads faster during subsequent times because the
element capacity data has already been calculated with the exception of Windows 2000 hosts.
• After discovering new elements, the capacity data for those elements will show up as null until
the data collectors have run. Data collectors are set to run every 15 minutes by default.
List Tab
The List tab lets you quickly access an element. For example, to quickly access a host in the
topology, expand the List View Tree node, then select your host in the tree by expanding the All
Elements and Hosts nodes. When you select an element in the tree, it is highlighted in the topology.
Path Tab
The Path tab provides information about an element's path. By clicking a host's node, you can
determine the host's path in the application. When you click a host node in the tree, the elements in
the host's path appear highlighted in the right pane.
Utilization Tab
Provides host and switch reports about certain aspects of utilization and storage, for example:
• Remote vs. Local Utilization
• Remote Storage
• Local Storage
• Total Port Utilization
• Port Utilization by Fabric
See ”Obtaining Utilization Reports” on page 366 for more information.
Capacity Data Tab
The Capacity Data Tab provides information about the capacity of an element. You can quickly
determine the general capacity of an element by its colors. The following table lists the colors:
