Dashboards allow you to gather specific types of data and display them in a consolidated graphical format. To identify unused LUNs, you will need to create a simple one-row dashboard.
Since the solution monitors permanently the traffic on each LUN, it becomes easy to detect LUNs for which the activity is null.
When a server is decommissioned or reconfigured, its associated LUNs can stay mapped preventing storage administrator from accurately identifying unused LUNs. To know the LUNs in a filer that are not mapped to any server and therefore safe to remove, you can generate an automatic LUNs Mapping Table report. Being able to identify such unmapped LUNs and reclaim the disk space uselessly consumed by these LUNs will help administrators avoid unnecessary upgrades and extensions of their filers. These LUNs, while unused, still occupy disk space in the filer. Over time, as servers connected to a SAN get decommissioned, administrators find an increasing number of unmapped LUNs, or volumes that are no longer used by any server.
