Not impressed with OCI 7.3. All the "Analyze" context menu items were removed from the Java client. You are now forced to use the web client to see port utlization on a host/array/switch which is nowhere near as user friendly as what the Java client was. My biggest gripe is that with that change, we also lose "Contending switch ports", which was a huge help when troubleshooting connectivity and/or congestion issues on the SAN. It's a real shame.
