Adding/Editing a Capacity Chargeback Policy
Capacity Chargeback Policies can be configured to allocate costs for storage array usage. Costs can be associated with a variety of storage elements to enable a detailed approach to usage costs. The values that you configure in the Capacity Chargeback Policies are used by the following reports:
• Aggregated Chargeback
• Chargeback Array Capacity
• Chargeback By Host
• Chargeback Policy Capacity
Note: Capacity Chargebacks can be configured for block storage only; file-based storage is not supported for Array Capacity Chargeback.
