    Version 1 1.1.5 Description HP Network Advisor 1 1.1.5 is a software management platform that provides users with a consistent user interface across FC and FCoE / DCB along with custom views and controls based on the users’ areas of specialization. Network Advisor provides users with the utmost flexibility in deployment and operational models, including traditional SAN deployments (FC) and end-to-end convergence (FCoE, iSCSI and NAS over DCB).
  • Page 4 Network Advisor brings forward the capabilities found in Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) for SAN management with additional features and enhancements: Policy monitor allows users to set up best practices for their network and run a test manually, or on a scheduled basis, to ensure the network conforms to the best practices. Frame monitor provides a monitoring mechanism that allows configuring different thresholds for different types of frames and report events whenever a count for a particular frame type crosses its respective threshold.
