SRM Type Reports

The Storage Resource Management (SRM) reports let you easily monitor your entire storage environment at a glance and measure the status of all related resources. The SRM reports let you perform performance analysis, real-time reporting, and evaluate trended behaviors of all the Windows nodes in your storage environment. By understanding your storage environment and the behavior of the individual storage components, you can quickly find any potential bottlenecks and prevent interruption of service.

The SRM reports provide system information related to nodes in your backup infrastructure such as: amount of used and available storage space, amount of memory, version of operating systems, network interface cards installed along with their speed, processor architecture and speed, what nodes are accessing shared storage or external media through SCSI or Fiber Cards. In addition, the SRM reports also provide the added capability to drill down into any specific area of the environment to get a more focused view of the status of each area.

It is important to evaluate these SRM reports in tandem with each other to compare results and get a better overall picture of what is occurring in your storage environment.

Note: For SRM reports, if you are accessing Dashboard for the first time and no SRM data is displayed, you may need to wait until your first SRM probe has been performed before data is collected and displayed. By default, this SRM probe and data refresh process occurs at 2 PM every day. However, if you want to immediately collect and display SRM information, you can initiate an immediate probe by clicking on the Probe Now button on the SRM Probing dialog. For more information, see SRM Prober Settings.
