NOTE: Install DCFM on a dedicated machine that is not running any other server applications, such as another database server. New OUI support on B-series platforms The OUI value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely identifies the manufacturer of Fibre Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are used by Fabric OS to validate certain fabric interoperability support, and by DCFM to provide for manageability features. Brocade is near to exhausting the currently assigned OUI/WWN values. Therefore, they will soon be using a new OUI value for WWN assignment. WWNs with the current OUI value are expected to be consumed by mid-2010. Brocade factory shipments of switches after this time will have WWNs that include the new OUI. The new OUI value for Brocade is 00:05:33. For example, a WWN of 10:00:00:05:33:41:5c:c1 uses the new OUI. Beginning with DCFM 10.3.4, and continuing forward with DCFM 10.4.0 and later, DCFM has been enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to guarantee proper functionality. IMPORTANT: If you have a switch with the new OUI/WWN in the fabric, do not downgrade DCFM to a version earlier than 10.3.4. DCFM versions earlier than 10.3.4 will show such switches as unmanaged. DCFM cannot manage M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled DCFM 10.1.3 or later does not support managing M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled. If SNMPv3 is enabled on M-EOSc switches, SNMPv1 is disabled automatically. DCFM uses SNMPv1 to manage M-EOSc switches; therefore, the manageability link cannot be established if SNMPv3 is enabled. HP recommends that you use the CLI to disable SNMPv3. JRE 1.6.0 Update 16 is required If your system has a JRE version earlier than JRE 1.6.0_16, you must update to JRE 1.6.0 Update 16. You can validate this by executing java -version from the command prompt. If the version displayed is 1.6.0_16, you are running the correct version. If your JRE version is earlier than 1.6.0_16, remove JRE and then browse to the DCFM Server IP address to download the correct version, which is bundled with the DCFM server. NOTE: If you installed JRE 1.6.0 Update 16, do not use the Java auto-updater, as this changes the JRE version. B-series Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 11

New OUI support on B-series platforms
The OUI value is part of a Fibre Channel WWN that uniquely identifies the manufacturer of Fibre
Channel products. The OUI values assigned to Brocade are used by Fabric OS to validate certain
fabric interoperability support, and by DCFM to provide for manageability features.
Brocade is near to exhausting the currently assigned OUI/WWN values. Therefore, they will soon
be using a new OUI value for WWN assignment. WWNs with the current OUI value are expected
to be consumed by mid-2010. Brocade factory shipments of switches after this time will have WWNs
that include the new OUI.
The new OUI value for Brocade is
00:05:33
. For example, a WWN of
10:00:
00:05:33
:41:5c:c1
uses the new OUI.
Beginning with DCFM 10.3.4, and continuing forward with DCFM 10.4.0 and later, DCFM has been
enhanced to recognize the new Brocade OUI value to guarantee proper functionality.
IMPORTANT:
If you have a switch with the new OUI/WWN in the fabric, do not downgrade DCFM to a version
earlier than 10.3.4.
DCFM versions earlier than 10.3.4 will show such switches as
unmanaged
.
DCFM cannot manage M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled
DCFM 10.1.3 or later does not support managing M-EOSc switches with SNMPv3 enabled. If SNMPv3
is enabled on M-EOSc switches, SNMPv1 is disabled automatically. DCFM uses SNMPv1 to manage
M-EOSc switches; therefore, the manageability link cannot be established if SNMPv3 is enabled. HP
recommends that you use the CLI to disable SNMPv3.
JRE 1.6.0 Update 16 is required
If your system has a JRE version earlier than JRE 1.6.0_16, you must update to JRE 1.6.0 Update 16.
You can validate this by executing
java –version
from the command prompt. If the version
displayed is
1.6.0_16
, you are running the correct version. If your JRE version is earlier than
1.6.0_16, remove JRE and then browse to the DCFM Server IP address to download the correct
version, which is bundled with the DCFM server.
NOTE:
If you installed JRE 1.6.0 Update 16, do not use the Java auto-updater, as this changes the JRE version.
