HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility 5.1 release notes

IP masking for multiple hosts — IP address is masked in the report when there are multiple hosts in
the input data from the SV GUI.
Prerequisites
Following are the prerequisites to install HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility:
• To use the HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility 5.1 software, following are the necessary applications
that must be installed on a host where HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility is installed:
• Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) SE v1.5 Update 1 or higher
• Brocade SMI-Agent (120.6.0 a) installed for SMI-S based data collection. For more information,
see the SMI-Agent user guide.
NOTE:
Brocade SMI-Agent installation is not mandatory for SAN Visibility data collection. If Brocade
SMI-Agent is not installed, then the collection takes place through SNMP (and Brocade APIs).
For more information, see the HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility 5.1 User Guide .
• SSH (or Secure SHell) based data collection is supported only for Brocade switches with firmware
version 4.0 and later.
Known issues
Following are the known issues and limitations in this release of SAN Visibility:
• Port module type and license information are not available for Brocade switches through SMI-S.
• CISCO 9020 switches do not report connected switches, IP gateway and correct sensor value.
• License information and FC address are not available for Cisco and McData switches.
• FC address and IP Gateway information are not available for Brocade switches.
• Firmware version and sensor information is not available for the Brocade multi protocol router
(AP7420).
• IP Gateway, FC address, fan status and license information are not available for Qlogic switches.
• SAN Visibility does not support Admin Domain for Brocade switches. If Admin Domains are con-
figured in the switch, zone related information may not report correctly.
• SMI-S based data collection may return some invalid characters in the description for the HBA
driver and the Array Firmware.
• HP StorageWorks 8/20q and QLogic switches returns same World Wide Name (WWN) for all
the connected switches in a fabric, when SNMP Proxy parameter is set to "True" (default value).
To resolve this issue, change the SNMP proxy parameter to "False" before initiating switch data
collection. For more information on how to change SNMP proxy settings, see the Troubleshooting
section of the HP StorageWorks SAN Visibility 5.1 User Guide.
• SAN Visibility does not support IPv6 data collection for a QLogic switch.
• Brocade switches running FOS6.2.0a may not report attached device properly, resulting SAN
Visibility not being able to correctly categorize connected switches.
