Hyper-V Explorer Storage tab (clusters)

The Hyper-V Explorer Storage tab displays combination of embedded views displaying disk volumes associated with the selected cluster. It identifies the virtual machines that spend the highest amounts of disk resources. Use this tab to find out more about the overall consumption of disk resources for a given cluster. The information provided on this tab can help you prevent potential bottlenecks by reallocating disk resources where they are most needed.

This tab appears in the Hyper-V Explorer when you select a cluster on the Hyper-V Explorer Topology tab.
