Initiating data collection
You can initiate data collection either for all the component groups or for a specific component group.
HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility 5.1 supports switches configured with N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)
mode. NPIV is an industry-standard Fibre Channel (FC) protocol that provides a means to assign
multiple FC addresses on the same physical link. SAN Visibility identifies NPIV enabled Brocade,
Cisco and QLogic switches. SAN Visibility also supports explicit data collection from Brocade switches
configured in AG (Access Gateway) mode.
NOTE:
SAN Visibility does not support data collection from Cisco switches configured in NPIV mode.
To initiate data collection, complete the following steps:
