Creating a report
Once you have configured SAN Visibility for data collection, you can create a report. There are two
methods for creating a report:
• Automatically—Automatically e-mails the data to HP when collection is complete. This requires
you to know the SMTP address of your mail server. If you have external e-mail access from your
environment, this is the preferred method.
• Manually—Requires you to manually send the data to HP. If you do not have external e-mail access,
use this method.
