Storage-based chargeback lets you charge the application owners based on the amount of storage allocated to them. Each storage system is designated a storage tier classification. You can specify a charge for each storage tier. This charge is referred to as storage tier cost. The management server determines the storage cost of the application by multiplying the storage tier cost by the allotted storage. If the application uses more than one storage system, the storage cost from each storage system is added for the total storage cost.

NOTE: All of the elements in an application path (from the application to the volume) must belong to the user’s organization in order for the cost to be calculated.

Storage tiers for storage-based information can have any name. The following default storage tier names are provided:

Ultra High Availability is usually assigned to the ultra-high-availability storage. This tier contains the premium storage in your network, usually the most expensive.

High Availability is usually assigned to the high-availability storage. This tier contains storage that is not as expensive as the storage assigned to the Ultra High Availability tier.

IDE Based Storage is usually assigned to IDE-based storage. This tier contains storage that is comparatively inexpensive.
