Capacity Manager provides graphical representation of an element's storage capacity and
utilization in the storage network. It provides the following tabs:
• List
• Path
• Utilization
• Capacity Data
• Capacity Chart
Capacity Manager provides a different set of information for NetApp NAS devices. For more
information, see ”Capacity Information for NetApp NAS Devices” on page 568.
Keep in mind the following:
• 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. See ”Capacity in Chargeback
Manager and Capacity Manager Differ” on page 622 for more information.
