HP Intelligent Infrastructure Analyzer Software v2.1 Release Notes

1 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.
Intended audience
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
