Table 30 Unisphere tasks (continued)
Unisphere for VMAX is also available as Representational State Transfer (REST) API.
This robust API allows you to access performance and configuration information, and
to provision storage arrays. It can be used in any of the programming environments
that support standard REST clients, such as web browsers and programming
platforms that can issue HTTP requests.
Workload Planner
Workload Planner displays performance metrics for applications. Use Workload
Planner to model the impact of migrating a workload from one storage system to
another.
Use Workload Planner to:
l
Model proposed new workloads.
l
Assess the impact of moving one or more workloads off of a given array running
HYPERMAX OS.
l
Determine current and future resource shortfalls that require action to maintain
the requested workloads.
FAST Array Advisor
The FAST Array Advisor wizard guides you through the steps to determine the impact
on performance of migrating a workload from one array to another.
If the wizard determines that the target array can absorb the added workload, it
automatically creates all the auto-provisioning groups required to duplicate the source
workload on the target array.
Unisphere 360
Unisphere 360 is an on-premise management solution that provides a single window
across arrays running HYPERMAX OS at a single site. It allows you to:
l
Add a Unisphere server to Unisphere 360 to allow for data collection and reporting
of Unisphere management storage system data.
l
View the system health, capacity, alerts and capacity trends for your Data Center.
l
View all storage systems from all enrolled Unisphere instances in one place.
l
View details on performance and capacity.
l
Link and launch to Unisphere instances running v8.2 or higher.
l
Manage Unisphere 360 users and configure authentication and authorization rules.
l
View details of visible storage arrays, including current and target storage
