Important Notes - HP SN6000B Release Note

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 11.1.1.
• A correction has been made for the issue described in the next bullet, which is related to manage-
ability 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 11.1.1 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 11.1.1.
• 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 (approvimately 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.
• In the Logical Switches dialog, the property Base Fabric for Transport refers to XISL, and selecting
this check box configures XISL.
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.
