SNMP based data collection
The SNMP based data collection is the default data collection method used by SAN Visibility.
SMI-Agent based data collection (for Brocade switch)
If you want to use the SMI-Agent based data collection method, then provide the CIMOM server
details as discussed below. The SAN Visibility allows only local user accounts to retrieve data from
the Brocade SMI-Agent (if the user authentication option is enabled at the Brocade SMI-Agent).
If the SMI-Agent based data collection fails to run, then the SAN Visibility uses the SNMP based data
collection method.
NOTE:
Ensure that SMI-Agent (120.6.0 a) is installed and running in the machine. To start the CIMOM server,
select Start > Program > SMIAgent120.6.0a > Start CIMOM.
To enter CIMOM server setting details, complete the following steps:
1. Select View > CIMOM Server Settings... The CIMOM server settings window is displayed, as
shown in
Figure 23 .
2. Enter the CIMOM server IP address in the CIMOM Server IP Address box.
3. Enter the user name in the User Name box.
4. Enter the password in the Password box.
5. Enter the server port number in the Server Port box (default: 5988 for http and 5989 for https).
6. Click Ok.
The authorized user setting is saved, and the credentials entered is used to communicate with
the Brocade SMI-Agent during the next data collection.
NOTE:
For configuring Brocade SMI-Agent user authentication, see the Brocade SMI-Agent user
guide.
