Creating Reports in a Complex Environment22
• of the mounted volumes, how much is used and free
To create this report:
1. To find the storage allocated to a host, select the following objects/filters from the Report
Connector universe, and drag them onto the Results Objects/Query Filters panel:
2. Click Run Query to run the report and select the proper context. The following contexts will be
offered when you run the report:
• Managed & Generic Elements: Storage Host Application Connectivity
• Managed & Generic Elements: Storage Host Backup Connectivity
• Managed & Generic Elements: Storage Host FileServer Connectivity
• Managed Elements: Application Host Switch Storage Connectivity
• Managed Elements: Backup Host Switch Storage Connectivity
• Managed Elements: FileServer Host Switch Storage Connectivity
To select the proper context, you must understand the differences between the two types of
contexts:
• Managed & Generic Elements Contexts will include both managed and generic elements in
the report. All of these contexts will provide exactly the same data in the report. This type of
context will return data from Target LUN mapping.
• Managed Elements Contexts will include only managed elements in the report. All of these
three contexts will provide exactly the same data in the report.
Select a context type based on whether you want to see information about managed and
generic elements, or only managed elements.
3. To find data about the mounted, used, and free storage for a host:
a. Select Edit Query.
b. Click Add Query to create another query within this report. You can either accept the
default query names (for example Query 1, Query 2), or assign meaningful names to the
queries for ease of use.
