SAN report types
Presenting and archiving data about a SAN is equally as important as gathering the data. Through
the Management application, you can generate reports about the SAN. You can send the reports to
network administrators, support consultants, and others interested in the SAN’s architecture, or
archive the reports for future reference.
The following standard report types are available from the Generate Reports dialog box:
• Fabric Ports — Lists discovered ports including used and unused ports. Port data for each
fabric is divided into three parts: Fabric-wide port details, Switch-wide port details, and
individual port details.
• Fabric Summary — Lists information about discovered fabrics including fabric and switch
details, device information, and ISL and trunk summary.
• Host Adapter Inventory — Lists all Brocade adapters discovered through Host discovery.
• Host Adapter Faulty SFP — Lists all Brocade adapters with unsupported or faulty SFPs.
The following device-specific reports are available through the Monitor (Monitor > Performance >
Historical Report) or Reports menus and right-click menus:
• Performance — Lists historical performance-related data.
NOTE
Performance reports require a SAN Trial or Licensed version.
• Zone — Lists zoning objects.
