Brocade SAN Switches

Foglight for Storage Management uses the SMI-S interface to collect from Brocade SAN switches.

Brocade switch information is collected using the following namespaces:

•
Interop Namespace — interop
•
Working Namespace(Brocade) — root/brocade1
•
Working Namespace(McData) — root/mcdata

Foglight for Storage Management executes the following SMI-S commands to obtain switch information on all SAN switches or Switch Management applications:

•
EnumerateInstanceNames
•
EnumerateInstances
•
References
•
Reference Names
•
Associators
•
Associator Names
•
GetClass

Requirements for Brocade SAN Switches

Requirements differ depending on the version of Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) used by your switch.

Brocade Switches on FOS 7.0 or later

For Brocade switches running FOS 7.0 or later, Foglight for Storage Management collects information from the switches using the Brocade Network Advisor (BNA). Foglight for Storage Management works with either the full commercial version of BNA (license required) or the SMI-S only version of BNA (free).

Your environment must meet the following requirements:

•
Brocade Network Advisor is installed, either the full version or the free SMI-S Only mode version.
•
Brocade switches are not configured as Access Gateway switches. Foglight for Storage Management does not collect from switches configured as Access Gateway switches.
•
Foglight for Storage Management requires a user account with read access. An account with write/admin access is required to add the switch to BNA, but is not required for monitoring.
