Fixed Issues

•The Storage Pool parameter for the Volume application class is now collected for all volumes.

•The data gap that occurred after the discovery for the Disk Time Utilization and the Response Time parameters (CLARiiON and VNX physical disks only) has been fixed. Parameters are now accurately reported.

Known Issues

•Because the computation methods used by the EMC SMI-S provider differ between versions 4 and 8, the following parameters will not return the same value:
▪Consumed Capacity ( Volume | Storage Pool (Symmetrix) | Disk Group)
▪Consumed Capacity Percentage ( Volume | | Storage Pool (Symmetrix) | Disk Group)
▪Capacity (Disk Group |  Disk Array)
▪Available Capacity ( Disk Array )
▪Size ( Disk Group )
