Step 3 - Review Storage Dependency and Cost
IMPORTANT: The management server displays chargeback information up to the end of the previous month. For example, assume you view chargeback information in the middle of February. The calculations for chargeback would include the month of January, but not February.
The Storage Dependency and Cost table is displayed if all of the following conditions apply:
•The application depends on a storage system.
•The organizations to which you belong allow you to view the storage system.
NOTE: You cannot change the storage tier if your role does not allow you to make modifications to the storage system.
If the table is empty and you know the application is dependent on a storage system, verify you have access to the storage system; otherwise, data cannot be calculated for this report.
If the application depends on a storage system, such as the Microsoft Exchange application in the following figure, the management server determines the storage cost by adding the mounted and unmounted storage, and multiplying the total storage in gigabytes by the tier cost per gigabyte:
(Storage in gigabytes) x (Tier Cost per gigabyte) = Storage Cost
The Tier Cost was determined in Step 2 - Review Storage Tier Cost. Select a storage tier and then click Save Changes. The value for allotted storage includes mounted and unmounted storage. Any volumes the application can access are included in the storage calculations.
Keep in mind the following:
•The Tier Cost per GB and Storage Cost columns are populated after you click the Save Changes button.
•The name of the tier classifications shown in the figure can be customized, and therefore they can differ from the names shown in the figure in this section.
