42 EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter
Reporting on Your Datacenter
Preventing application outages due to out-of-space
conditions
This example demonstrates how a Windows administrator uses the Relationship view
to map an application file system on a VMware virtual machine back to the array
device on which it resides. Then, using the Properties views, the Windows
administrator discovers how much space is available on the virtual disk, file system,
and finally on the array in case the administrator needs to add more disks to the ESX
Server.
Viewing the file-system-to-device relationship
To complete this task, the Windows administrator:
1. In the Console, clicks the Eraser icon in the right-side view to clear the view.
2. On the Console toolbar, clicks Relationship.
The Relationship view appears.
3. In the Console tree, expands the folders Hosts, the Windows Hosts category, and
a virtual machine.
4. Drags the virtual machine from the Console tree to the Relationship view.
The Relationship view, depicted in Figure 20, maps the virtual machine from the
ESX Server and virtual disks (VMDK files) on which the virtual machine resides,
through the file systems, back to the array devices.
