Specific instructions for registering a SAN Switch include:

1. When registering a SAN Switch with the Capacity Reporter Server you must follow these guidelines when entering information in the Required Registration Information dialog box:
   - TCP/IP Address — Enter the TCP/IP address of the switch in dotted notation (for example, 255.255.255.255).
   - SRM Display Name — Enter the name of the SAN switch that you want to be displayed in the software's reports. This name is arbitrary; it can be any name that has meaning in your enterprise storage network.
2. If you successfully registered the SAN switch, it is located in the group named SANSwitch Group.

### Editing Scan Proxy Information

Using Capacity Reporter, you can edit the proxy system settings for a registered SAN Switch. This consists of changing the Capacity Reporter Agent computer to use for computer scans.

To edit scan proxy information:

1. Launch the software.
2. Click the Options tab, and then click the Scans notebook.
3. In the navigation pane, click select proxy. The Select Proxy page is displayed.
4. Next to the SAN Switch option, click Modify. The Modify Scan Settings for SAN Switch page is displayed.
5. In the Select a managed object list box, select the SAN switch object you want to modify, and make the necessary changes.

You can change the following setting:

Computer Scan Agent — Enter the name of a managed Capacity Reporter Agent computer that has the correct plug-in installed on it. If you select a Capacity Reporter 5.0.1 (or greater) Agent computer that does not have the correct plug-in installed, all computer scans for the selected SAN switch fail.
