SAN Analyzer provides topology for assets on your tenant |
topology, analyze, analysis, map |
SAN plays a crucial role in handling vital workloads, but its complexity can result in significant outages and customer disruptions. With DII’s SAN Analyzer, managing SAN becomes simpler and more efficient. This powerful tool offers end-to-end visibility, mapping dependencies from VM/Host to network to LUN and storage.
By providing an interactive topology map, SAN Analyzer enables you to pinpoint issues, understand changes, and enhance comprehension of data flow. Streamline SAN management in complex IT environments with SAN Analyzer and increase your visibility into block workloads.
Select Observability > Analyze > SAN Analyzer to view the SAN Analyzer. Set a filter for Application, Host, Fabric, and/or Storage.
The map for the objects is displayed, showing connected objects. Hover over an object to view traffic metrics for those connections.

Note
|
Most SAN Analyzer filters (including those you may add) are contextual; when you select an object in one of these filters, the choices presented in the other filter drop-downs are refreshed in context with the selected object or objects. The only exceptions to this are Application, Port, and Switch; these filters are not contextual. |
Clicking on an object or group opens a slideout panel providing additional details about the object and its connections. The slideout panel displays a summary, which provides details about the selected object (for example, IP, Hypervisor, Connected Fabrics, etc., depending on the type of object), and charts showing metrics for the object such as latency or IOPS, and changes and alerts if relevant. You can select to display metrics for Top Correlated objects on the charts as well, if desired.
In addition to the Summary tab, the slideout panel displays tabs for things like Port details or Zone information, as applicable to the chosen object.
If your environment includes iSCSI devices, hovering over the iSCSI object highlights the connections related to those relevant iSCSI devices.
