Creating a report manually To obtain the SMTP server for the e-mail address you entered in the Customer Details window, select the Automatically e-mail the collected raw data on completion checkbox. If SAN Visibility does not find the SMTP server or if you want to create a report manually, follow these steps: 1. Click Data Collection. 2. Select the fabric for which you want to create a report from the Select a switch group for data collection. Select the Collect data for all switch groups check box to create reports for all fabrics. 3. Clear the Capture performance data check box. To collect 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, or both. 6. Under Data Collection, click Start. If you selected the option to collect switch performance data, it will take 10 additional minutes to collect the data. 7. Select Default Mail Client in the Launch Mail Client panel. The location of the report is displayed in the message body of the default mail launched. 8. Manually attach the raw report created with the subject line: "HP Essentials SAN Visibility Report Request". Send the report to the e-mail address: [email protected]. An automated email response is returned, confirming receipt of the raw data file. Click Close. The data is 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 any server on which SAN Visibility is installed.
