How to view a XML file from the Unisphere report wizard

Question

What is the trick to viewing a report that is saved in XML format from the reports wizard? All I see in the browser is the XML code, not the final page. Thanks.

Go into the 7.32.0.5.56 (or similar name, depending on your Unisphere version) folder in the directory where the XML report is located.  If you saved just the XML file to another computer, go back to the source and grab this folder from the directory where the XML files were generated, usually something like \Users\ \emc\Unisphere\Reports. Open the ArrayConfig.html file with Internet Explorer (versions 6-10), or Firefox (versions 2-12: unlikely) Click the [Allow Blocked Content] button at the bottom of the screen. You should be prompted with 'Please select a storage system configuration XML file to display' - click the [Browse...] button. Navigate to the XML report, select it and click [OK] Your report should open!

That works, thanks. I didn't know about the arrayconfig.html file.
