Common Unified Manager administrative workflows and tasks

Some common administrative workflows and tasks associated with Unified Manager include selecting the storage clusters that are to be monitored; diagnosing conditions that adversely affect data availability, performance, capacity, and protection; creating protection relationships; restoring lost data; configuring and managing Infinite Volumes; and bundling and sending diagnostic data to technical support (when necessary).

Unified Manager enables storage administrators to view a dashboard, assess the overall capacity, availability, and protection health of the managed storage clusters, and then quickly note, locate, diagnose, and assign for resolution any specific issues that might arise.

The most important cluster, Storage Virtual Machine (SVM), volume, Infinite Volume issue, or protection relationship issues that affect the storage capacity, data availability, or protection reliability of your managed storage are reflected in the Dashboard page system health graphs and posted events. When critical issues are signaled, the Dashboard page provides links to support appropriate troubleshooting workflows.

Unified Manager can also be included in workflows that include related manageability tools—such as OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA)—to support the direct configuration of storage resources.

Common workflows related to the following administrative tasks are described in this document:
