Save Report

The Save Report option creates an XML file containing all the information available to SANscape about a specific server and its respective array.

  1. Choose File > Save Report. The Exportable to spreadsheets option enables you to save the report with delimiters (Comma, Semicolon, Tab, Colon, and Vertical Bar) for export to spreadsheets.
  2. Select Save report. The Save Report File window is displayed.
  3. Type a file name to identify the file type and click Save.
  4. SANscape writes the report on the inventory and status of the selected server and its devices.

    The default save location for the report file is in the installation directory and the default file extension is .xml. It might be helpful to create a subdirectory for saving reports, so they do not clutter the installation directory.

    A report includes the following information:

    • General array details

      • Array name, status, manufacture, model

      • Firmware version

      • Boot record version

      • MAC, IP, netmask, and gateway address

      • Serial numbers of controllers

    • General overview of the array configuration

      • Total number of logical drives, logical volumes, and partitions

    • Controller parameters

      • Host and drive channel settings and IDs

    • Detailed list of each logical drive

      • RAID level

      • Number and size of physical drives in a logical drive

      • Number and size of partitions per logical drive and their mappings

    • SAF-TE/SES information

    • List of FRUs

    • Details of the physical drives
