An Exploration of the NetApp DII DWH - Databases and Tables

Data acquired 02.03.2026

An exploration of the NetApp Data Infrastructure Insights (DII) Data Warehouse (DWH) with SQL commands (run in the DII Reporting Portal's Cognos.)

show databases

Note: #$account.parameters.TENANT_ID# is a Cognos function used to pull the Tenant ID. If you run show databases the output below will show the true Tenant ID which is redacted here.

information_schema
performance_schema
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_capacity
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_capacity_efficiency
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_capacity_staging
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_custom
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_dimensions
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_fs_util
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_inventory
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_inventory_staging
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_inventory_transient
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_management
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_performance
#$account.parameters.TENANT_ID#_dwh_ports

We won't look at all of the tables above. Specifically:

  • performance_schema : this is a native MySQL database to do with MySQL performance.
  • dwh_capacity_staging, dwh_inventory_staging & dwh_inventory_transient : these are temporary databases
  • dwh_custom : this schema is for customer specific tables

We will look at information_schema as I think it is of interest. And in later posts we will look at the columns in the tables in the highlighted databases (for some reason the dwh_management post got unpublished, no idea why, it's not particularly important to look at so I deleted it.)
