Troubleshooting Reporting

•Reporting does not provide reports for NetApp filers.

•Reports in general contain no data or incomplete/incorrect data while the report cache is being refreshed. See ”Refreshing a Report” on page 433.

•Some reports display data trends for several days in the future. For example, assume you run a report to gather information from the last three days. The report may display data trends for the next several days based on the current information. Please keep in mind the data trends are just assumptions and should not be treated as fact.

•The following IBM HBA appears as QLogic HBAs in the Navigation and Properties pages, in addition to reports:

•IBM MSJ

•FaStT FC-2/2-133

•Certain reports display elements assigned to the user's organization, including child organizations. For example, if you attempt to view an Assets by Department report and you do not have permission to access hosts through your organization, you are not given information about the hosts in the report. This is also true for e-mailing certain reports. Let's assume again you do not have permission to access hosts. If you e-mail an Assets by Department report, your e-mail will not contain information about hosts. If the users receiving your reports want to be able to view information about hosts, one of the following must happen:

•The hosts in question must be added to your organization.

•Someone else, who has the hosts in question already in their organization, must send the reports.

The same is true for organization filters. Let's assume you belong to two organizations: OnlyHosts and OnlySwitches. If you set your organization filter to display only the elements in OnlySwitches and not in OnlyHosts, your certain reports display only the elements in OnlySwitches. If you send an Assets by Department report by e-mail, the information in the report displays information about the elements that are currently allowed through the organization filter. You can set the organization filter when you create an e-mail schedule. See ”Sending a Report by E-mail” on page 435.

The following reports display all information regardless of a user's organizations:

•Event Reports

•Application Reports

•Hosts Reports*

•Storage System Reports*

•Switch Reports*

*Reports that display information for only one element, such as Asset Summary, Details, Events, and Utilization reports.
