Overview
HP IIAS uses industry-standard protocols (such as SNMP, SMI-S, CIM, and Telnet) to monitor the
physical layer (SFPs) across SAN, diagnose changes or events in SFP states or characteristics, and
presents the SAN topology, inventory, and diagnostic information to the user in real-time.
The HP Intelligent Infrastructure Analyzer Software is intended for customers having HP storage hardware
in their SAN. HP IIAS can be used to monitor and diagnose the physical layer of Storage Area Network
(SAN) in real-time, with an emphasis on the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) on FC Switch, HBA,
and Storage device. The solution is highly beneficial for enterprise SAN, where SAN management
becomes cumbersome and tedious.
