Report types
Presenting and archiving data about a SAN is equally as important as gathering the data. Through
the Management application, you can generate reports about the SAN. You can send the reports to
network administrators, support consultants, and others interested in the SAN’s architecture, or
archive them for future reference.
The following standard report types are available from the Generate Reports dialog box:
Fabric Ports. Lists discovered ports including used and unused ports. Port data for each fabric
is divided into three parts: Fabric-wide port details, Switch-wide port details, and individual
port details.
Fabric Summary. Lists information about discovered fabrics including fabric and switch details,
device information, and ISL and trunk summary.
The following device specific reports are available through the Monitor (Monitor > Performance >
Historical Report) or Reports menu and right-click menus:
Performance. Lists historical performance-related data.
Zone. Lists zoning objects.
