Note: This is a host-based report. Host data collection is required before data will appear in this report.
This Capacity Chargeback report enables you to aggregate the data by Host Groups or by a particular host attribute (for example, Department). The Report Designer provides both a filtering and a grouping mechanism.
• Host Groups are used to filter or narrow the scope and content of the report.
• Host Groups and Attributes are used to aggregate the data—that is, a grouping mechanism. Note that Attributes are from the host’s perspective.
• If you choose only Host Groups (without an Attribute), the report will be filtered on the selected Host Groups and also will be grouped by Host Group.
• Allocate Duplicate Host to All, when checked, reports duplicate host usage in all Host Groups, if hosts are in more than one host group.
• Allocate Duplicate Host to All, when unchecked, reports duplicate host usage—only in the first alphabetical host group.
Capacity Chargeback Policies are configured by the Storage Viewer Administrator. The administrator uses these policies to assign a cost-per-GB to hosts in a host group.
