A list of links for each registered storage system and the associated alerts.
• Datacenter Utilization
A bar chart that provides volume capacity information for Open-Allocated, Open-Unallocated,
Open-Reserved, Mainframe, and Free. This chart applies to all of the managed storage systems,
collectively. Because capacities are calculated based on actual volume capacities, the capacity
of virtual volumes, such as THP volumes, is not include.
• Failed Tasks
A list of links for each failed user-executed task. Each item includes the task name, task type, and
a description.
• Top 10 Consumers
A list of links for each of the ten hosts with the highest allocated storage capacity.
• Tier Residency
A chart checking the usage of hardware layers for each logical group. You can compare the op-

groups whose configuration is to be displayed.
