Creating Reports in a Complex Environment4
• Discovery Details Class
• Tape Library Class
• NAS Class
The following table summarizes class compatibilities. Compatible classes are marked with an X, and
all unmarked combinations are incompatible.
Combining Incompatible Objects in a Report
You can combine incompatible objects in a report by creating separate queries for each type. For
example, if you are interested in SAN and NAS capacities in your environment, you can select NAS
objects in one query and SAN (storage system) objects in another query, and then run the two
queries together. The output can be combined in one report or different tabs of the same report.
