supportSave on adapters
Host management features support capturing support information for managed Brocade adapters,
which are discovered in the Management application. You can trigger supportSave for multiple
adapters at the same time.
supportSave cannot be used to collect support information for ESXi hosts managed by a CIM
Server. Refer to the Brocade Adapters Administrator’s Guide for information about supportSave on
ESXi hosts.
NOTE
You cannot schedule host supportSave information.
NOTE
You cannot schedule host supportSave information through Management Application for Emulex
Adapters.
Instructions for scheduling and capturing technical support files are detailed in
Host fault management
Fault management enables you to monitor your SAN using the following methods:
•
Monitors logs for specified conditions and sends a notification or runs a script when the
specified condition is met.
•
Creates event-based policies, which contain an event trigger and action.
•
Configures e-mail event notifications.
•
Receives and forwards Syslog messages from Fabric OS switches and Brocade HBAs,
managed using the Host Connectivity Manager (HCM).
•
Through the Brocade Adapters ESXi Management feature, ESXi systems support the HCM and
the Management application when the CIM provider is installed on these systems.
NOTE
The host name of the ESXi host being discovered through CIM discovery in the Management
application should be configured such that it resolves to the same IP address used for
discovering that ESXi host in the Management application.
Adapter events

•
Product Audit Event — Occurs when a target product is audited.

Product Status Event — Occurs when a device or connection changes to up or down.
