Notes
l Chargeback task is set to run once a day, by default. It can be run on demand, if
data needs to be reflected in reports sooner.
SolutionPack for Brocade FC Switch

SMI-S only
Discovers switch topology, performance and zoning details completely through SMI-S.
This is the recommended discovery approach.

Notes
l For all versions of CMCNE/BNA, ViPR SRM does not support Single Sign On and
Launch-in- Context.
l ViPR SRM does not support Administrative Domains features.

l Performance Metrics will not be collected for Brocade AG Devices and FCoE
ports.
l Discovery support is limited to FC and FCoE ports; discovery of other protocols or
routing is not supported.
l CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization will not be populated for Brocade
switches.
l Name Server Database, Ethernet ports details are not discovered.
l For Alerts to be populated in ViPR SRM, configure the SNMP trap recipient on
each switch. For more information, refer to the ViPR SRM Alerting Guide.
SNMP + SMI-S (Zoning only through SMI-S)
Discover switch topology and performance metrics through SNMP. SNMP does not
support zoning discovery. Restrict SMI-S discovery to zoning details only.
This discovery approach is supported for backward compatibility with previous
versions.

capabilities will not be discovered.
Notes
l Performance Metrics will not be collected for Brocade AG Devices.
l CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization will be populated for Brocade switches

with CLARiiON, VNX1, and VNX2
models.
VNX Operating Environment for NA 22, 443

File 7.1 or later Used with VNX1,
VNX2, and Gateway models.
Notes
l Systems with FLARE/Operating Environment for Block 05.31 might incorrectly
report CurrentUtilization, ResponseTime, ServiceTime, and QueueLength metrics.
These metrics might not match Unisphere Analyzer because the necessary
counters used to properly compute them are not available in the NaviCLI output
for arrays that are running FLARE 05.31.
l The ResponseTime and QueueLength metrics are not available for disks dedicated
to Storage Pools on systems with FLARE/Operating Environment for Block
version 05.31. This is because the counters that are used to compute these
metrics are not available via Navisphere CLI at these versions.
l There are known issues collecting Disk data from arrays running FLARE/Operating
Environment for Block versions 05.31.000.5.509. It is advised to obtain the latest
software version of 05.31 from EMC Online Support (https://support.emc.com).
l To collect performance data for VNX MetaLUNs with Operating Environment for
Block (“FLARE”) 05.32, version 05.32.000.5.209 or later must be used.
l Navisphere CLI commands are used to communicate with the VNX. EMC
recommends matching Navisphere CLI versions with the Block Operating
Environment versions of VNX systems configured in the SolutionPack. For
example, if the firmware version of the Block side is 05.32.x, Navisphere CLI 7.32.x
or higher should be used. For more information on compatible Block OE and
Navisphere CLI versions, see the VNX OE for Block Release Notes and the
Unisphere Host Agent/CLI and Utilities Release Notes located on EMC Online
Support.
l SSH access to VNX-File/Celerra with an operator user. SSH access is needed
between VNX Collector host and Control Station to download files in /emc-srm via
SFTP via SFTP.
l To collect Quota information correctly, arrays must be running File OE 7.1.70.0 or
later.
l If ALUA (Failover Mode 4) is enabled for one or more hosts attached to a VNX
array and I/O to the associated host LUNs is distributed across more than one
Storage Processor, values for the LUN perfromance metrics
AverageBusyQueueLength, QueueLength, and ResponseTime may be higher than
what is displayed in Unisphere Analyzer, because the Navisphere CLI counters
used to compute these metrics will accumulate for each Storage Processor.

l To properly compute the LUN performance metrics ReadCacheHitRatio and

WriteCacheHitRatio for FLARE/Operating Environment for Block version 05.33,
version 05.33.006.5.102 or later must be used.
l It is possible for Raw Capacity for an array to decrease if Hot Spare disks are
invoked or disks are removed, even though Raw Capacity for the RAID Group(s) or
Pool(s) the faulted/removed disks belong to does not change. This is normal due
to how Unisphere and Navisphere CLI display capacity metrics for Hot Spares
depending on their state; however, until the removed/faulted disks are replaced
and the hot spares are returned to a "Hot Spare Ready" state, it could result in
Raw Capacity for a VNX array to display as lower than the sum of
ConfiguredUsableCapacity, RAIDOverheadCapacity, UnconfiguredCapacity,
UnusableCapacity, and HotSpareCapacity.
l Unisphere Analyzer/SRM may provide huge spikes for Disk Response Time on
systems with FLARE/Operating Environment for Block 05.33. This has been
addressed in 05.33.000.5.081 and higher.

supported by are connected to the same
SMI-S 8.x Solutions Enabler host, then
version 8.2.0.18 or higher must
be used. Otherwise, the SMI-S
Provider can encounter
problems due to any DMX
arrays being included. The
alternative to using 8.2.0.18 is
to use a separate Solutions
Enabler host solely for DMX
arrays. To prevent the VMAX-
only Solutions Enabler host
from discovering DMX arrays,
the DMX serial numbers must
be added to the symavoid file
and any DMX arrays should be
removed from the Solutions
Enabler database.

Notes
l SMI-S provider 8.x and 9.x are packaged as part of the Solutions Enabler. For
SMI-S installation, download the Solutions Enabler package from EMC Online
Support.
l eNAS is supported by the SolutionPack for EMC Unity/VNX/VNXe.
l For feature specific compatibility, refer to the Solutions Enabler, SMI-S Provider,
and Unisphere for VMAX documentation.
l SMI-S Provider requires 6 gatekeepers per array fibre-connected to the SE host.
l VMAX arrays discovered through SMI-S cannot get the number of FICON mapped
devices.
l Solutions Enabler 8.3.0.6 should be avoided due to a Non-Disruptive Migration
(NDM) corruption issue. See KB article 496471 for more details. It is
recommended that the latest 8.3 release available be used instead.
