Report Sections

The report is divided into eight sections:

  1. Storage Overview

    Use the Storage Overview section to quickly observe where problems exist in the FC SAN infrastructure.  View open cases to use the investigations to troubleshoot and remediate issues.  Note entities with issues to use to filter the report.

  2. FC SAN Health

    This section is filtered by application and/or storage port and shows you where port errors and Class 3 Discards are occurring for storage ports, switch ports, and inter-switch links.

    List card and trend charts are displayed for each entity type and metric. Drill down on entities in the list views for more information and target these entities for physical layer issue investigation.
