Viewing storage details for data center and clusters
About this task
You can view
the physical storage details for a data center or cluster on the Datacenter/Cluster Information tab. For information to
appear on this page, run an inventory job. The data center and cluster
pages enable you to export information to a CSV file and offers filter/search
functionality on the data grid. The hardware views directly report
data from OMSA and iDRAC. See Running inventory
jobs.
