Installation on Network Mounted Drives is not supported.
Installation onto a windows network mounted drive is not supported but installation, if attempted, is
allowed and DB fails to start.
Client disconnects
Under heavy server load or degraded network links, there is a potential for the Network Advisor client
to disconnect from the server. The workaround is to restart the client.
SMI Agent
If SMI client queries CIMOM server for more than one fabric, and if each fabric has a large zone
database (~1MB), then Enumerate Instances operation on
Brocade_ZonemembershipsettingdataInZone
fails. In this scenario, HP recommends that you
use the association traversal approach via Brocade_Fabric to retrieve the larger zone databases.
SMI alert indication BRCD60 is not sent out to SMI clients if Fabric OS switches are discovered but
SNMP trap registration has failed. Ensure that the Network Advisor server is successfully registered
for traps on all switches.
If DCB switches are running Fabric OS 6.3.x, VLAN/ACL deployment through SMI-A fails. You must
upgrade the DCB Fabric OS to 6.4.x/7.0.0a for VLAN/ACL deployment support through the SMI
Agent.
Indications delivery depends on SAN Size and SNMP registration
The time to deliver the indication varies, based on Network Advisor SAN size selected during
installation. If a large SAN size is selected, indication delivery time is longer.
Provider classes may take more time to update the fabric changes if the switches managed in Network
Advisor are not SNMP registered. All the switches managed in Network Advisor should be SNMP
registered to avoid the delay in indication delivery.
Logging for CIMOM
The default logging level is
INFO
in the integrated Agent. To change the logging level to
DEBUG
,
update the
com.brocade
category value in the
cimom-log4j.xml
file located in the
<Installation Dir>\conf
folder.
The log file size and number of log files can also be changed by modifying the file rolling appender
parameters in this
cimom-log4j.xml
file.
Logging Level, File size, and Number of Log files can be changed by modifying the following fields:
Log
Level
,
File Size
, and
Number of Files
from Configuration Tool through the CIMOM tab.
Service Location Protocol (SLP) support
The Management application SMI Agent uses Service Location Protocol (SLP) to allow applications
to discover the existence, location, and configuration of WBEM services in enterprise networks.
You do not need a WBEM client to use SLP discovery to find a WBEM Server; that is, SLP discovery
might already know about the location and capabilities of the WBEM Server to which it wants to send
