SnapManager reports and the report directory

SnapManager reports list step-by-step details of every SnapManager operation that you perform, their final statuses, and any error messages that you encounter during the operation.

• SnapManager reports in a Database Availability Group (DAG)
  When the SnapManager MMC snap-in is connecting to the Database Availability Group (DAG), you can view all the reports from all the member servers of the DAG.
• Reasons to change the report directory location
  You might need to change the report directory location, either because of limited space or because you want to share the directory between SnapManager and the Exchange server running in an Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS) cluster.
• Changing the SnapManager report directory
  If you have limited space in your original report directory, you can change the report directory to store your reports.
• Locating the report directory in a Windows cluster
  By default, the SnapManager Report Directory is on the disk on which SnapManager is installed. In a Windows cluster, the report directory is not shared among the nodes in the cluster, and you cannot see the same reports from different nodes.
• Viewing SnapManager reports
  You can view SnapManager reports from the SnapManager GUI.
• Printing SnapManager reports
  You can print SnapManager reports either from within the displayed report, or you can open the report in Notepad and print it.
• Deleting SnapManager reports
  You can delete reports from the Report Directory to increase the space available in the directory.
