Hitachi Storage Viewer provides different navigation options to slice and examine your collected data. You can explore the data by using the HDS customizable report templates or by using parts of your IT infrastructure as entry points. The Inventory Navigator serves as a browser for your infrastructure by object type.
Use the Reports tab to examine the Storage Viewer catalog of templates, dashboards and reports - organized by products along with user-created, and system folders. This report is located here:
Storage Viewer for Backup > Storage Utilization Reports > Drive Performance Summary
This report also can be generated via a link in the
Drive Utilization & Performance Report.
This report provides high-level drive details for the reporting period that you specified in the report scope.
Note: If you are accessing this report from the navigation pane, be sure to define a host group scope that is unique by product type—for example, only NetBackup servers. Also, this report is not supported for Veritas Backup Exec or IBM TSM data because data collection does not capture the association between backup jobs and tapes.
