Using Asset Tags

Asset tags allow you to define custom characteristics for each storage array, such as city, state, row
number and type. Once an asset tag key and value are assigned to a storage array, a storage panel can be
created to automatically group all storage arrays matching the criteria specified for the panel.
Storage panels are created with specific asset tag values, or can be created with only an asset tag key.
Defining both creates a panel with all storage arrays having an asset tag value for the specified asset tag
key and automatically groups the storage arrays based on their asset tag values. You can also choose to
define a storage array panel with only a specific asset tag value. This will create a panel with only storage
arrays having the associated asset tag key and specific asset tag value defined within the panel.
Examples of different combinations of asset tag definitions are shown in figures Storage Array Panel
Configuration with All Asset Tag Values and Storage Array Panel Configuration with Specific Asset Tag
Value.
