Viewing storage system reports
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) provides predefined and customized storage system reports.
If HP Storage Essentials is installed, No data is displayed in HP SIM storage system reports. This is because
HP SIM data collection from SMI-S devices is disabled to avoid duplicate data collection from both HP SIM
and HP Storage Essentials. For information on storage system reporting with HP Storage Essentials, see your
HP Storage Essentials documentation.
See “Reporting views” for specific details about the fields that are displayed in storage system reports.

The following predefined reports are available:
• Storage Device Capacity—All Storage Arrays lists capacity usage details for all storage arrays.
