Hello. We want to do an initial assessment of all of the Storages/SAN and get a baseline information (AS IS) then chalk out a plan to optimize (TO BE). (May be reduce cost and wastage, if any). We want to see if they are getting what is expected from these Frames. Also, like they inform us that on FS9200 Compression/Deduplication is not enabled. Any specific reason, why, and what will be the benefits if we enable it. (Of course, keeping in mind the proper sequence, like encryption is not happening first). Basically, some real value-add and improvements over what they are doing currently. Another part involved is 'Data Lifecycle Management' recommendations related to iSeries and Oracle DB. Thanks.

Hi - This is not really a redbook topic. The Health Check is done by our support tools as part of the Inventory Call home and can be started via support or seen via Storage Insights. What kind of information were you looking for specifically?
For performance monitoring - generally the answer is use Storage Insights. However, there are partner tools that are developed for this (SVA BVQ and ATS Galileo for instance) as well as home grown tools that use our performance statistics (which are documented in the main product documentation).
There are best practices and performance guidelines in redbooks, but I don't believe we have anything around assessments, so I am interested in the use case you are trying to solve

Hi All, Is there any redbook for FlashSystems Health Check and Assessment. Apart from PG redp5669, what is the good document specifically for Performance Monitoring, Tools used and Storage Assessment.
Second query is: What is the specific redbook for CSM(Copy Service Manager) Performance Tuning for both DS8K and FS9500/FS0200R.
Thanks.
