CA SRM provides a licensed option that collects storage usage data from the following disk arrays:
The disk arrays lets your data to be transparent by enabling you to see which applications are being stored on which disks in your disk array.
You can also unify the views of your various arrays into a single view, letting you see data on all your disk array devices. CA SRM also collects basic hardware information for each disk in your array, including information about physical disks, logical volumes, and so on.
The two-phase data collection of Disk Arrays is done using SMI-S. In two-phase data collection, CA SRM executes the collected raw data on a proxy server without any application server database access, and executes the database update on the application server.
CA SRM 12.7 collects thin provisioning attributes for IBM XIV and Symmetrix VMAX.
For IBM XIV, Hard Size and Soft Size attributes are collected for Disk array, Raid groups, and Logical Disks objects.
For Symmetrix VMAX, isthindevice attribute for logical disks object to differentiate between data and thin device. ParentVol ID attribute to show relationship between the meta device and meta member.
