I have all of my Cisco MDS switches setup within Storage Manager but when I run the report labeled "ISL Ports" under the Enterprise Reports, there is no data in the report. What do I need to do to be able to collect this data?

The ISL reports dont come from our switch monitoring, rather it comes from our fabric monitoring. You will need a Windows server with HBA and connectivity to the fabric you want to monitor. Once you have that, install a STM Windows agent on that server, then go to Setting > All Resources and add a FC Fabric device and assign it to that agent. You should start to see ISL data then.
