HP B-series Network Advisor Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 11.1.2 Release Notes (5697-1433, December 2011-includes all 11.1.x versions)

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 its requests. In such environments, you do not need to start the SLP component of the
Management application SMI Agent.
However, in a dynamically changing enterprise network environment, many WBEM clients might
choose to use SLP discovery to find the location and capabilities of other WBEM Servers. In such
environments, start the SLP component of the Management application SMI Agent to allow
advertisement of its existence, location, and capabilities.
SLP installation is optional and you can configure it during Management application configuration.
Once installed, SLP starts whenever the Management application SMI Agent starts.
