Problem summary
Users Affected: IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center users with Brocade switches. Problem Description: Brocade switch states of no_sync and no_light could not be distinguished in IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center. Current interfaces did not provide the necessary information to distinguish. Both states displayed with an operational status of OK.
Problem conclusion
Changes were made in IBM TotalStorage Productivity version 3.3 to use additional values available from the Brocade SMI Agent. This also requires the use of a newer (greater than 110.5.0b) Brocade SMI Agent, which is being tested with IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center. The testing is being conducted with the August monthly interim fix for version 3.3. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1134&context=SS8JFM& context=SSESLZ&dc=D400&uid=swg24016437&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=e n There will also be an update to the supported products page when a newer version has completed testing. http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=1134&uid=swg21265379
