information from them.
The following procedure describes the steps for using SAN Visibility. For complete information
about using this tool, see the SAN Visibility online help.

The SAN Visibility window is displayed.

a. Enter a name in the SAN Name box. You can use the default SAN name, but HP
recommends that you change it to a name that is meaningful to you. This name is used
when generating reports, so it should be easily recognized as associated with the SAN
