Installing SNMP subagent 3 • Make sure that all Fibre Channel devices connected through the adapter and associated FCoE or Fibre Channel switch are correctly connected, powered up, and operating correctly. If not powered up, devices will be unavailable. • Verify host system storage, switch, and operating system compatibility using the interoperability matrices on the Brocade adapters website at www.brocade.com/adapters. • Verify the following for stand-up adapters only: - Observe LED operation on adapter and refer to the "Adapter LED operation" on page 177 for Fabric Adapters, "Adapter LED operation (stand-up adapters)" on page 191 for CNAs, and "Adapter LED operation (stand-up adapters)" on page 184 for HBAs. LEDs are visible through the adapter's mounting bracket. If LEDs indicate that the link between the adapter and switch is not operational, this could mean that a problem on the link between the switch and adapter or that the driver is not loaded and communicating with the switch. - The adapter is installed in the appropriate connector in the host system. - All small form factor pluggable (SFP) optic receivers are correctly installed, seated, and latched in adapter SFP receiver slots. - Cables are properly connected to the appropriate adapter port and seated in the SFP connector. - Correct options are configured for the slot where the adapter is installed, • Verify the following for mezzanine adapters only: - The blade server or server blade is turned on. - The adapter is installed in the appropriate connector. On some blade servers or server blades, connectors may only support a specific adapter type. Refer to your blade sever documentation for help. - Whether the blade server or server blade on which the adapter is installed is correctly configured and installed in the blade system enclosure. Refer to your blade server and blade system enclosure documentation for help. - Any modules or blades in that support adapter operation are installed in the appropriate enclosure bays and correctly configured. Refer to the documentation for your blade system enclosure for help. - The blade system enclosure is configured for adapter operation. Refer to your blade system enclosure and documentation for blade system enclosure components for help. - You are using the latest device drivers, firmware, and BIOS for the blade server (or server blade) and other components in the blade system enclosure that support adapter operation. Installing SNMP subagent Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported by CNAs and by Fabric Adapters for ports configured in CNA or NIC mode. For more information, refer to "Simple Network Management Protocol" on page 34. Brocade adapter SNMP is supported through an extension to the SNMP master agent, called the subagent, which processes SNMP queries for Brocade adapters. The subagent is only supported on Linux and Windows systems. SNMP subagent files are copied to your host system when you install adapter management utilities through HCM and the Brocade Adapter Software Installer (BASI).
