With the NAS System Discovery report, you can view detailed storage information about the supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems in your CommCell environment from the Web Console.
The NAS System Discovery report provides the following information:
-
"At a glance" view of the arrays, storage pools, volumes, and LUNs across your CommCell environment
-
Detailed storage space information–such as total storage space, free storage space, and used storage space– on NAS arrays
-
Paths to the volumes and LUNs in your CommCell environment
How NAS System Discovery Works
Metadata from supported NAS systems is gathered by using the System Discovery for NAS workflow. The workflow uses an Index Server to gather metadata from NAS storage servers that are configured in Array Management. The Index Server is a logical CommCell entity that uses Index Store clients to perform indexing, search, and analytical operations. After the workflow has gathered all of the information in the Index Server, you can view the NAS System Discovery report from the Web Console.
