Creating SAN User Defined Reports

</h1>
<a name="wp1340048"> </a><p class="pBody">
You can create custom reports from all or any subset of information obtained by Cisco DCNM-SAN. 
You create a report template by selecting events, performance, and inventory statistics you want in your 
report and set the desired SAN, fabrics or VSAN to limit the scope of the template. You can generate 
and schedule a report of your fabric based on this template immediately or at a later time. DCNM Web 
Client saves each report based on the report template used and the time you generate the report.

</p>
<a name="wp1340049"> </a><p class="pBody">
Since the Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 5.0, the report template design has changed to resolve the 
limitations of the earlier versions. With the new design model, you can perform add, delete, and modify 
functionalities on a single page. You can choose multiple fabrics and VSANs using the new navigation 
system, which allows you to add new items and categories in the future.

</p>
<a name="wp1340050"> </a><p class="pBody">
The new design model has three panels:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1340051"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Templates panel - The Customs panel allows you to add new templates, modify existing templates 
and delete existing templates. 
</li>
<a name="wp1340052"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Configuration panel - The Configuration panel allows you to configure a new template when it is 
added and modify an existing template. The options in the configuration panel are disabled until you 
either add a new template or select an existing template. The upper portion of the configuration panel 
contains many categories that you can choose and configure. 
</li>
<a name="wp1340053"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">User Selection panel - The User Selection panel displays your configuration options in real-time. 
While the configuration panel can display information pertaining to one category at a time, the User 
Selection panel displays all of your selections or configurations.
</li>
</ul></div>
