    Performance tables to have a Totals row at bottom to sum the values

    On all of the performance tables, it would be nice to have a "Totals" row at bottom to sum the values of each column.

    SI Should Include FC Ports Current Speed as a Column

    SI should include the Current Speed for FC Ports in the table. The table currently only lists the maximum possible speed of a port. The CurrentSpeed of the port is available from lsioport -metrics

    Host cluster view option

    It would be useful to have an option that shows host clusters in the overview panel where hosts are shown. I have attached a drawing of what it could look like. Thanks
    5 months ago in IBM Storage Insights 3 Needs more information

    Assignments panel needs to enhanced to display the ip address or WWN or switch name or at least the system UUID

    We also are unable to use Assignments to spread the workload because all the switches are listed with their Chassis Name, and we have a lot of switches of the same kind so its impossible to differentiate between which device is located where. Woul...

    LSS Display capability in Internal Resources page per Storage Array

    It would be nice to have the ability to report on LSS on a DS8K. It would be nice if we could report on LSS and the Device Type, getting the counts per model type with an LSS device quantity Total - perhaps with a Capacity Total by model and summary.

    Display more detailed information in the Storage Insights Ticket dashboard

    SI is a great pan of glass to Monitor, Manage and track issue on storage environment.When using the Device Ticket Dashboard, user see only the ticket number ( RCMS, RETAIN , Salesforce) but detailed information are missing.

    Add support for Cisco MDS SAN Switches running NX-OS

    All (I know) current Cisco MDS Switches run Nexus based NX-OS. We have MDS9132T and MDS9148T switches which seems to not be supportet in Storage Insights. Please add support for this Switches. Thank you.

    Add functionality to Storage Insights so that you can see the performance of a volume compared to throttles that are set.

    Understanding how a volume is performing compared to throttles set on it is very important. Currently, throttles are not represented in Storage Insights. I want to be able to see how much of a QoS a volume is using. I also want to be able to set a...

    Provide More Granular DS8 Capacity Reporting for Storage Insights Hosts and Volumes

    Please provide the ability to capture capacity information for hosts and volumes at a more granular level, eg hourly/sample vs just a single daily entry. The array overall we can see capacity data at least to an hourly level, so this would allow u...
