Manager to avoid losing Performance Manager data. If data has been lost, follow the steps below to

missing statistics, then click Apply.

Step 3 Save the data file in the $INSTALL_DIR directory.

limitations in the connected vendor switch.

in the active zone set is 2047.

to SAN-OS Release 3.3(4) fails when there is an active FC-Redirect configuration (created by Cisco
