Creating a report to view available volume capacity charts

You can create a report to analyze available volume capacity in an Excel chart.

1. In the left navigation pane, click Storage > Volumes.

   Depending on your browser, you might need to click OK to save the file.

3. If needed, click Enable Editing.
4. In Excel, open the downloaded file.
5. On the data sheet, select the data that you want to use in the Volume and Available Data % columns.
6. On the Insert menu, select a 3-D pie chart.
   The chart shows which volumes have the largest available space. The chart appears on the data sheet.

   Note: Depending on your network configuration, selecting the entire columns or too many data rows might make your pie chart unreadable. This sample uses the 3-D pie chart, but you can use any chart type. Use the chart that best displays the data you want to capture.

11. When satisfied, save the file with your changes.
12. In Unified Manager, select Reports > Upload Excel.
    Note: Make sure you are in the same view where you downloaded the Excel file.
