Creating a report manually
To obtain the SMTP server for the e-mail address you entered on the Customer Details window, select
the Automatically e-mail the collected raw data on completion checkbox. If SAN Visibility does not
find the SMTP server or if you want to create a report manually, follow the procedure below.
1. Click Data Collection.
2. Select the fabric for which you want to create a report from Choose switch group for data
collection. Check Collect data for all switch groups to create reports for all the fabrics.
3. Clear Capture Performance data. If you want to gather switch performance data, leave this option
selected. Selecting this option will increase the amount of time required to collect the switch data.
4. Select Mask IP Address check box if you do not want to send the IP address information (in the
raw report) outside your network.
5. Select a format for the report by selecting HTML Report, Microsoft Excel Report, or both.
6. In the Data Collection sub-box, click Start. If you have selected the option to collect switch
performance data, it will take 10 additional minutes to collect the data.
7. Select Default Mail Client in the Launch Mail Client panel. The location of the report is displayed
in the message body of the default mail launched.
8. Manually attach the raw report created with subject line: “HP StorageWorks Essentials SAN
Visibility Report Request”. Send the report to the following e-mail address: [e-mail].
An automated email response is mailed back confirming the receipt of the raw data file. Click
Close.
The report will be processed and the formatted report returned to you within one business day.
9. When you receive the formatted report, save it to a temporary location on the management server
or any server on which SAN Visibility is installed. A sample report is shown in Figure 5.
