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 specific areas of the system. These include a summary of
the system data and configuration, ports, channel adapters, and disk adapters. You can
save reports in CSV files or HTML files. Tables in the HTML version of the configuration
reports are sortable.
Before making changes to a storage system, create reports of your storage system’s
physical configurations and logical settings. Make a similar report after the changes, and
then compare the reports to verify that new settings were made as intended.
