• To generate a summary report for a single fabric or switch, select Fabric or Switch and then enter its
IP, WWN, name, or domain.

The Microsoft Excel program is launched. Fabric information is gathered and displayed in the
spreadsheet. Reports are saved in the following directory:

Generating reports outside Fabric Manager
Two scripts are installed with Fabric Manager that let you create the Fabric Summary and Physical
Inventory reports outside of the Fabric Manager client.
To generate the Fabric Summary report:

2. Double-click FMExcelReport.exe.
The Fabric Manager Excel Report dialog box opens. See Figure 155 on page 220.

To generate a summary report for all fabrics, choose All Fabrics. Each fabric report is created in a
separate Excel worksheet in one file.
To generate a summary report for a single fabric, enter the switch IP, WWN, or fabric ID that identifies
the fabric.
