The Tier annotation is used to associate assets with their respective Tiers, for use in cost accounting, for example. Insight comes with a number of default Tier annotations; you may modify these according to your tiering naming conventions or create your own Tiers as needed.
When setting Tier annotations, keep the following in mind:
-
Cost is per gigabyte.
-
Tier 1, 2, 3 are default tiers configured at a storage array level, by disk type. However, many customers will have multiple disk types within an array, or across arrays of the same type.
-
Best practice is to create Tier annotations based on disk type and/or disk speed. This is a typical Tier methodology; your own needs may vary.
Steps:
-
Choose the Tier annotation and click on the Edit icon.
-
If desired, click +Add and add the Name and Description of your first tier to the annotation list.
-
Do the same for your other tiers.
-
When finished, click Save.
