Fabric Manager > Administration Reports > Host to Storage Dashboard
This four-portlet interactive dashboard initially presents a list of host-to-storage paths in the upper left portlet. The other three portlets remain blank until a host is selected. Each time you select a host, the upper right portlet displays a topology map of the host-to-storage configuration.
Working with Topology
This topology represents the connections from a particular host to arrays providing storage to the host.
Connectivity between objects is shown in a topology diagram. Each object displays the type and the count.
• Mouse-over each device (host, switch, storage array) and paths to view details
• Single click a connection to view the details
• Double click a device to display detailed reports
• Expand the topology window to zoom and navigate through larger diagrams
