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 \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 16
