Working with reports

  1. Last updated
  2. Save as PDF

Device Manager - Storage Navigator can generate a standard set of reports that provide views of various aspects of the storage system. In addition to these views, you can generate custom reports for specific areas of the system. These include a summary of the system data and configuration, ports, channel adapters, and disk adapters. You can save reports in CSV files or HTML files. Tables in the HTML version of the configuration reports are sortable.

Before making changes to a storage system, create reports of your storage system’s physical configurations and logical settings. Make a similar report after the changes, and then compare the reports to verify that new settings were made as intended.

The following examples show various storage configuration reports in table, graph, and CSV formats:
