    Add aborted command/transfer metrics to SI

    Spec V systems don't incorporate response time metrics into the performance stats for IOs that were aborted. The hosts would have actually been impacted by these IOs because IOs are typically aborted once they have hit some kind of timeout value. ...

    SI to collect support data from SAN switches

    In a similar way that SpecV support data can be collected using SI SAN switch support data should be possible for Brocade (supportsave) and CISCO (show logging onboard, show tech-support details , show tech-support fcip) SAN switches

    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

    Enable a user to change the time zone within browser view of metrics

    When I view performance metrics for a given Storage Virtualize (StorV) cluster SI renders time based on browser time zone setting. My investigation of performance issues would more efficient If I could change the time zone to match the time zone o...

    Add the ability to track licensing of SCU and TiB in Storage Insights

    With the move to adopt SI and eliminate the need for an on-prem Spectrum Control instance, one area that we cannot track in SI is Licensing. Today in Control we can list out all 4 tiers and usage of SCU and TiB. This report is useful for yearly su...

    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...

    Mobile usability for SI

    Unlike Spectrum Control, which requires access to a corporate network, presumably through either a VPN or a physical (wired or wireless), it is possible to access SI anywhere. The app appears to be responsive (sizing correctly when viewed on a pho...

    SI/SC don't show NPIV ports on SpecVirt devices

    Today, neither SI nor SC show NPIV ports on SpecVirt devices, only the physical WWPN. Since the direction is to use NPIV only for host attachment, this prevents important information related to host connectivity being visible.
