Host requirements
Device Manager can manage, as hosts, computers that use volumes on managed storage systems.
By using Device Manager to centrally manage the disk resources for individual hosts, you can assign
the most appropriate volume based on usage.
Hosts that can be managed by Device Manager
To allocate storage system volumes to hosts (application servers) or check the volume usage of each
