OCI & Brocade Network Advisor aka BNA...

If you are an OCI customer, and you are running BNA, what version of BNA are you running?

If you are uncomfortable replying to this thread publically, you can ping me at ostiguy at netapp dot com

We are looking into the BNA REST API, and are seeing that certain BNA versions' are not going to very useful, so we are curious as to what version our customers are running

Thanks

Hi,

We just upgraded to 14.2.0.

Hey all,

Good news / Bad news.

We are still looking into this. What we now know is that OCI engineering's efforts are stymied by Brocade BNA DEFECT000634686 , which is documented as fixed in BNA 14.2.1 release notes

So, once again, if you are interested in BNA support in OCI, and are on 14.2.1 or higher, we'd like to gather some data from your environment if possible.

Thanks

Hey Matthias,

Any chance you have upgraded to BNA 14.2.1 or higher?

Thanks

Hello Matt,

Currently it is 14.2.0 but I will talk to our HPE guy who is maintaining the software here for an update to x.1 or higher.

14.4.1
Yesterday I upgraded OCI to 7.3.4(7) and configured a datasource for BNA. Inventory succeeds but Performance fails. But even the inventory doesn't populate OCI with the SAN switches monitored by BNA. Still looking into why.
