SCOM with fabric details, switch details, statistics and call home events.
• Selective server support save provides the ability to include or exclude performance and
historical events from the database while capturing server support save from SMC.
• SAN size check: A popup message is displayed when the discovered port/switch/AG count
exceeds the SAN size selected (small/medium/large).
• MD5 checksum validation: MD5 checksum validation is done before importing firmware files
into the repository.
Migration and upgrades
DCFM 10.4.x running on the Linux and Windows operating systems can be upgraded to Network
Advisor 11.1.x. Network Advisor is not supported on the Solaris platform. DCFM 10.4.x running
on the Solaris platform must first migrate to a supported operating system, and then perform the
upgrade to Network Advisor 11.1.x. Earlier versions of DCFM must first be upgraded to DCFM
10.4.x and then upgraded to Network Advisor 11.1.x. Upgrades from DCFM to Network Advisor
11.1.x do not require a new software license key.
Supported switches and firmware
Table 1 (page 5) and Table 2 (page 6) list switches and firmware families supported with HP
Network Advisor 11.1.2. This does not imply that all firmware versions listed in the left column
are still supported by HP, but rather that those are the firmware streams on which the corresponding
switches are, or were, supported. It also does not imply that all the firmware listed in streams is
supported on each of the corresponding switches. HP recommends using the latest software versions
to get the greatest benefit from the SAN.
