Testing Automated Reports Settings
You can manually generate reports to test the configured automated report settings without waiting for the reports to be generated
automatically. By default, Storage Manager generates reports into a folder named for the day when the report was generated.

a) Open a web browser.
b) Type the address of the Data Collector in the web browser using the following format:
https://data_collector_host_name_or_IP_address:3033/
c) Press Enter.
The Unisphere Central login page is displayed.
d) Type the user name and password of a Data Collector user with Administrator privileges in the User Name and Password field.
