EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter

Reporting on Your Datacenter

Configuring database space for a new application

This example demonstrates how a database administrator (DBA) works with a storage

administrator using StorageScope to determine the capacity and configuration

necessary for adding a new database application to the datacenter.

At the DBA’s request, the storage administrator uses the StorageScope Databases

report to get capacity and configuration information about all databases in the

environment. Based on the results of that report, the storage administrator then uses

the StorageScope Query Builder to determine the storage systems on which the

databases reside and the available storage that has been allocated for them. With

this information, the DBA can determine whether more storage needs to be allocated

for the new database application.

Generating the databases report

To complete this task, the storage administrator:

1. Logs in to StorageScope as documented under “Identifying IT assets for

accounting” on page 8.

2. Selects Analysis > Reports > Built-In/Custom Reports.

3. Selects the checkbox for the Databases report.

4. Clicks Run Report. The Run “Databases” dialog box appears Figure 16.
