If you have multiple Oracle VSM’s or multiple IBM TS7700 clusters, this video shows an example of how IntelliMagic Vision can easily let you see how well your tape workloads are balanced across the VSM’s or TS7700’s. This display, which we call a Balance perspective IntelliMagic Vision, lets you see all at once rather than just looking at one VSM or TS7700 at a time.
