Removing switches
If you plan to segment and remove more than two switches from a fabric and you have “Historical
performance collection” enabled, HP recommends that you accept changes after each Switch
segmentation from the client rather than doing it together or switch off track fabric changes.
Secure Fabric OS fabrics cannot be discovered from Network Advisor
Network Advisor does not support Secure Fabric OS (SFOS). If you try to discover the fabric,
Network Advisor displays the error message Discovery Failed. You must remove the secure
Fabric OS settings and change back to a normal fabric before discovering it from Network Advisor.
Display of Logical switches
If you create logical switches through the Logical Switch dialog box, the logical switch displays
under undiscovered Logical Switch in the existing Logical Switches Panel. You must rediscover the
newly created logical switch fabric.
Destination columns are blank for HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch in top talkers dialog
When the Top Talkers dialog box is launched for the HP StorageWorks Encryption SAN Switch,
the columns Destination, Destination port, and Destination switch port are sometimes empty.
Firmware download through SCP Server
If you use the Windows-based SCP Server, firmware download fails for the switches. HP recommends
that you use the Linux-based SCP Server.
DCFM to Network Advisor remote migration is not supported
Remote migration is not supported by Network Advisor. HP recommends that you first migrate from
DCFM 10.3.x / 10.4.x to another DCFM 10.3.x / 10.4.x server, and then migrate to Network
Advisor.
Remote clients not allowed for incompatible JRE versions
Starting with Network Advisor 11.1.5, remote clients will not be allowed for incompatible JRE
versions other than JRE 1.6. If the server where the remote client is launched has JRE 1.7, a security
warning message stating the certificate expired may appear. Customers can ignore the message
and continue to operate normally. Alternatively, to prevent the error message, uninstall JRE 1.7,
and then continue.
Privilege names
Privilege names are displayed in the Role Management dialog with SAN – prefixes. After migration
from an older version, new privilege names are displayed in the role Management dialog with
these prefixes.
