The tabs displayed on the dashboard differ depending on the selected storage array:
• |
Non-Clustered Storage Arrays (supported storage arrays except EqualLogic and Isilon) |
Most supported storage arrays are displayed as described in this walkthrough. If you are using Dell EqualLogic arrays, EMC Isilon arrays, or EMC VPLEX arrays, see Dell EqualLogic Storage Array, EMC Isilon Storage Array, or EMC VPLEX Storage Array instead.
