You can use the NetApp Host and VM File Systems data source to retrieve file system details and storage resource mappings for all Microsoft Windows host and VM (virtual machine) file systems and for all supported Linux VMs (those that are virtually mapped only) existing in the Insight server that are annotated with the configured Compute Resource Group (CRG).
You can contact your Insight representative for assistance.
To verify that links from file systems to storage resources are created, check that the relevant storage or virtualization vendor type and version report the volume or virtual disk identification data required.
