Was reviewing our SAM license the other day and noticed that it showed 184 volumes under the license count. When I check SAM it only shows 102 licenses. Just curious why they show different values. Pretty sure SAM is correct.
Both licensing number and "SAM" number are SAM numbers ... anyway, when you say you have checked SAM - what/where did you actually checked?
From the Home tab I clicked on environment where it shows things like applications, servers, volumes.
The AppStack Environment view shows only volumes associated with servers and hosts. It does not show volumes associated with network devices such as routers and switches. This is the most likely reason for the discrepancy.
When I look at non-server devices they show no volumes but when I look at things like our LEM and Virtualization Manager appliances they do show the volumes that reside on the ESXi hosts they are on. Still doesn't add up to the amount the license shows but maybe it double counts the volumes. I was thinking a volume as shown in SAM was a disk volume that existed on a monitored server.
Edit:
N/M count on the report still shows 102 volumes (exported to Excel to count them)
