Disk Arrays

CA SRM can collect data from a number of popular disk array devices, such as EMC Symmetrix, EMC CLARiiON, Hitachi Freedom Storage series, HP StorageWorks, Engenio (formerly LSI Logic), SUN StorEdge, and IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server series.

CA SRM gives you end-to-end mapping of your physical disks to your local storage objects, letting you see exactly which files and applications are stored on which disks in your array. The Risk Assessment capabilities of CA SRM help you identify the disks in your array that are low on storage space and that contain the most valuable data. You can also unify the views of your various arrays into a single view, letting you see data on all your disk array devices concurrently. CA SRM also collects hardware information for each disk in your array, including information about physical disks, logical volumes, and so on.
