Inclusion of NetApp unified storage device data

Enterprise Reporter now rolls up information about NetApp unified storage devices in your data centers. Depending on the versions of your CommandCentral Storage data sources, all or most of the following information about your NetApp unified storage devices is available for you to report on: Multistore Virtual Systems, volumes, qtrees, and shares.

You cannot roll up NetApp data from CommandCentral Storage 4.3 Management Servers.

See the CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter Administrator’s Guide for more information about the types of NetApp data that you can report on with each 5.x version of CommandCentral Storage.

Inclusion of custom storage object attributes

When you perform data rollup from your CommandCentral Storage data sources, you can now choose to include custom, user-created storage object attributes that your storage administrators may have implemented within CommandCentral Storage.

Examples of custom attributes that your storage administrators may define within CommandCentral Storage include:

■Physical location of a storage array
