Chapter 9: Managing storage system reports
Device Manager - Storage Navigator can generate a standard set of reports that provide
views of various aspects of the storage system. In addition to these views, you can
generate custom reports for specic areas of the system. These include a summary of
the system data and conguration, ports, channel adapters, and disk adapters. You can
save r
eports in CSV les or HTML les. Tables in the HTML version of the conguration
reports are sortable.
Before making changes to a storage system, create reports of your storage system’s
physical congurations and logical settings. Make a similar report after the changes, and
then compare the reports to verify that new settings were made as intended.
