While I couldn't comment in any great deal on this, I have seen the Tivoli
Storage Resource Manager product (formerly the TrelliSoft product) in
action. It appears to provide detailed reports on data that is stored on
both SAN and LAN based disk volumes (assuming of course that you have a
server that either has the volume mounted locally or there is a server
locally (and direct) attached to the volume on the other end of the
network). It is also fairly easy to install and get started with in terms of
gathering information. Understanding all of the reports that are available
is a different story.

It is probably worth checking out though. I have heard rumors that this will
become even more integrated with the TSM product in the future.

Hi, all

I'm runnig a TSM 4.2 for LAN servers and another TSM 4.2 for SAN
servers. I heard Tivoli has a good product about disk storage reporting
from LAN and SAN. Anyone using any good reporting and managing software
from Tivoli? My main interest is all disk utilization from LAN and SAN
attached servers. Any comment will be appreciated. Thanks.
