You can use the storage system profile as an aid during recovery or as an overview of the current configuration of the storage system. You might want to save a copy of the storage system profile on the management client and keep a hard copy of the storage system profile with the storage system. Create a new copy of the storage system profile if your configuration changes.

Steps

Select Support > Support Center > Support Resources tab.

Scroll down to Launch detailed storage system information, and then select Storage System Profile.

The report appears on your screen.
