APTARE IT Analytics Certified Configurations Guide

Last Published: 2021-12-19

Product(s): APTARE IT Analytics (10.5)

Supported storage arrays and access requirements

Capacity Manager currently supports the storage management products and storage arrays listed below. In general, any storage array that the device manager or command-line interface supports should work with Capacity Manager. For specific prerequisites and configuration requirements, see the specific Data Collector information.

Capacity Chargebacks can be configured for block storage only; file-based storage is not supported for Array Capacity Chargeback.

Data Collectors require the following privileges to access APIs and underlying details:

On Linux, root privileges for SSH and Telnet
On Windows, administrator privileges for WMI.
