Finding the Capacity of an Element
NOTE: Capacity Manager rounds the data it displays. This rounding could result in discrepancies
in the totals you add for a property against the data displayed in the Summary column. For
example, if you add the total capacity from each data pool and compare that total against the

To find the capacity of an element:
1. Access Capacity Manager as described in ” Accessing Capacity Manager ” on page 517.
2. (Optional) To quickly view the capacity of all of the elements in a fabric or application path,

Figure 79 Viewing the Capacity of Elements in a Fabric
See ” About Capacity Manager ” on page 515 for an explanation of the colors displayed.

information under the Capacity Summary and Capacity columns (Port Summary and Port
columns for switches), such as the following for applications, hosts and storage systems:
• Total Capacity - If a switch is selected, the total number of ports appear instead.
• Total Used
• Available

discovery and/or your license does not allow you to discover a particular storage system. See
the Supported Elements section in the “List of Features” to determine which storage systems you
