Obtaining a report manually
The SMTP server IP address of the primary switch on the SAN is obtained by the e-mail address you
entered on the Customer Details page. If SAN Visibility does not find the SMTP server or if you want
to create a report manually, follow the procedure below:
1. Click Data Collection.
2. Select the fabric for which you want to create a report from Choose switch group for data
collection. Check Collect data for all switch groups to create reports for all the fabrics.
3. Clear Capture Performance data. If you want to gather switch performance data, leave this option
selected. Selecting this option will increase the amount of time required to collect the switch data.
4. Select the Mask IP Address check box if you do not want to send the IP address information (in
the raw report) outside your network.
5. Select a format for the report by selecting HTML Report, Microsoft Excel Report.
6. In the Data Collection sub-box, click Start. If you have selected the option to collect switch
performance data, it will take at least 10 minutes to collect the data.
7. Select Launch in the Launch Mail Client panel. The location of the report is displayed.
8. Manually attach the raw report created with subject line: "HP StorageWorks Essentials SAN
Visibility Report Request". Send the report to the following e-mail address: SAN_Visibility@hp.com.
An automated email response is mailed back confirming the receipt of the raw data file. Click
Close.
The report will be processed and the formatted report returned to you within one business day.
9. When you receive the formatted report, save it to a temporary location on the management server
or another server. A sample report is shown in
