Network-Attached Storage Support (Including NetApp Filers)

NetApp Filers are Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices manufactured by Network Appliance. These are typically very large storage devices and are normally shared by several servers. Using CA SRM, you can define NetApp Filer devices as objects, and then gather usage information about them, as with any other storage object in your network.

Specifically designed for NetApp Filer support, a registration wizard helps you specify access parameters and information, refresh frequency, and also specify community string information necessary to access the filers.

CA SRM monitors the following NetApp Filer information:

• NetApp Filer attributes
• Filer physical (RAID) disks
• User‑defined RAID groups
• Mapping of RAID groups into logical volumes
• Quota tree information
• User storage usage information
• Snapshot information
• Storage Information
• Aggregation
• Vfilers
• Resources
• Volumes
