Creating reports
Presenting and archiving data about a SAN is equally as important as gathering the data. Through
the 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 them
for future reference.
The following report types are available:
• Product List—Lists the Product List, which has detailed information about the products in the
SAN.
• Operating Status Change—Lists status change for products in the SAN, including the number of
products online and offline, the product with the most downtime, and details about each
product’s status. This report only captures events from the event log for the last 30 days. To save
space, the log can be truncated and events lost, resulting in an inaccurate summary.
• Performance Data—Displays the performance data. The Performance Module is an optional
feature. Contact your sales representative to purchase this module.
• Physical Map—Displays a graphic of the SANs topology.
• Port Usage—Lists the number of connected ports in the SAN, as well as detailed usage
information for each port. Since only E_Ports are displayed in the topology, they are the only
ports displayed in this report.
• Fabric Ports—Lists fabric details including port and director utilization and product data.
• Storage Device Summary—Lists the assigned and free LUNs for the storage being managed
through the application.
• LUN Masking Summary—Lists the number of host ports and storage devices in the SAN, as well
as the nicknames of hosts that do not have assigned LUNs.
