HP B-series Network Advisor Enterprise, Professional Plus, and Professional 11.1.5 Release Notes (5697-2464, January 2013)

2. If a Network Advisor web server port number was specified (instead of the default 80) when

the Network Advisor server was installed, you must specify the port number after the hostname

or IP address. In the following examples, 8080 is the web server port number:

http:// NetworkAdvisorServerhost1.companyname.com:8080/

http://192.x.y.z:8080/

The required Client Oracle JRE version is 1.6.0_24. For remote clients, client Oracle JRE must be

installed prior to establishing a server connection.

NOTE: For Linux, if a value less than 1,024 is provided for the database port, the Network

Advisor installer becomes unresponsive at the Initialize Database step of the Configuration

Wizard.

Important notes

Consider the following information before using Network Advisor 11.1.5.

• A correction has been made for the issue described in the next bullet, which is related to

manageability of servers running DCFM 10.4.0, 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3, 10.4.4 out of

application memory when managing HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director for several

weeks and resulting in recurring server restarts.

• DCFM 10.4.x cannot manage products running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later. To manage those

products, upgrade the management application to Network Advisor 11.1.x before upgrading

the products to Fabric OS 7.0.0a or later.

• Host-based standalone SMI agents cannot manage products running Fabric OS 7.0.0a or

later. It requires use of the integrated SMI Agent with Network Advisor 11.1.x.

• While running diagnostic port test, selecting more than one port from the same switch or blade

and running a diagnosis on them simultaneously might result in failure. HP recommends that

you choose only one port at a time from any given switch or blade for running the diagnostic

port test.

• If a fabric has a large zone database or effective zone configuration (approximately 1 MB),

zoning report generation may fail.

• If IPv6 is enabled on the Fabric OS switch, along with the Network Advisor server host, IPv6

is the chosen mode of communication between server and switch.

• When migrating from the DCFM 10.4.x to Network Advisor 11.1.x, the corresponding DCFM

application service is expected to be up and running. The GUI message shown when the

DCFM server is not running prompts the user to start the Network Advisor service rather than

the DCFM application service.

• When any FC switch is upgraded from 6.4.x to 7.x.x firmware and downgraded again to

6.4.x, DCFM 10.4.x, servers will show a caution badge on switches and the discovery status

will not reflect the reason for this status.

• Firmware upgrades performed with Network Advisor on the HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE

Converged Network Switch are disruptive to I/O on the HP StorageWorks 2408 FCoE

Converged Network Switch.

• SCOM Plug-in is non-functional. The SCOM (Microsoft's Systems Center Operation Manager)

plug-in that allows fabric inventory information collected by the management application to

be displayed on the Microsoft console is non-functional. The temporary workaround for this

issue follows:

NOTE: The following steps are based on a new installation of Network Advisor, but can be

modified accordingly for existing installations. Additionally, this procedure is based on using

the Brocade-branded SCOM plug-in.
