Configuring SSL

When configuring Network Advisor in SSL enable mode in the application configuration wizard,
ensure that both HTTP and HTTPS ports are free and available for Network Advisor. Currently the
application checks only if the HTTPS configured port is available and not the HTTP port.

Import may fail

A change in the driver version 3.0 parsing boot images before an import causes the import to fail in
Network Advisor 11.1 stating 

Invalid boot image code file

. The issue is resolved in Network

Advisor 11.1.1, but users will see the same issue in the migrated server from Network Advisor 11.1.0
to 11.1.1. As a workaround, remove boot image files having version numbers greater than or equal
to 3.0 from the repository and re-execute the import.

Port disable/enable operation may fail

The Port disable/enable operation on physical TE-Ports may fail in the following scenarios:

Disabling the virtual FCoE ports of DCB switches of the corresponding physical TE-Ports through
the CLI/Web Tools

Removing the FCoE device connected to the ports

DCB asset collection will fail if the trunks are configured for the TE-ports. Users will not get updates
for the DCB switch, such as port status, lag and trunk information. To resolve this issue, users should
delete the fabric and rediscover it from the discovery dialog.

Startup time

Network Advisor server startup and restart can take up to 10 or so minutes to complete.
