SMI Agent
• For Network Advisor that has more than 30K instances (2 MB zones), the CIMOM takes more
memory to generate CIM instances. If users perform Enumerate Instances or Enumerate Instances
Names and the total size is more than 2 MB for all managed fabrics, then a
CIM_ERROR_FAILED status will be thrown, because the Total Zone DB size is more than 2
MB. For such configurations, users need to use Association calls.
NOTE: If the total zone DB is more than 1 MB or more than 10000 instances, users should
change the max jvm heap size to 2048 MB in order to access the data without failure in a
64-bit machine.
• 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.
