Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_STORAGESYSTEMARN TYPE /AWS1/DSYSTORAGESYSTEMARN /AWS1/DSYSTORAGESYSTEMARN

IV_COLLECTIONDURATIONMINUTES TYPE /AWS1/DSYCOLLDURATIONMINUTES /AWS1/DSYCOLLDURATIONMINUTES

Specifies in minutes how long you want the discovery job to run.

For more accurate recommendations, we recommend a duration of at least 14 days. Longer durations allow time to collect a sufficient number of data points and provide a realistic representation of storage performance and utilization.
