Fabric and switch alerts

The Brocade SAN Analytics Management Pack for VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite
displays the CIM event and SNMP trap alerts from the fabric and switch resources. The following
table lists the CIM event and SNMP trap alerts that display and details the associated resource for
each of the events with their type and severity level.

Event handling configuration

You must configure vCenter Operations Manager and Brocade Network Advisor to enable event
handling so that the adapter receives events from Brocade Network Advisor. You should also make
sure that devices are configured to send traps to Brocade Network Advisor. For vCenter Operation
Manager, the SNMP port is specified when you create the adapter instance (refer to

“Creating the

adapter instance”

on page 3).

Configuring vCenter Operations Manager for event handling

You must configure the TCP and UDP ports in the firewall configuration (vcopsfirewall.conf) file
located in the /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/install/ directory of the Analytics virtual machine

1. Open the vcopsfirewall.conf file in a text editor (such as Notepad).

2. Add the TCP and UDP ports port numbers (any number where socket can be opened) using the

following format:

TCPPORTS="$TCPPORTS 5999" (TCP Ports)

UDPPORTS="$UDPPORTS 16200" (UDP ports)

3. Select File > Save.

4. Open a command prompt on the Analytics virtual machine and run the following commands:

service vcops restart collector

/etc/init.d/vcopsfirewall restart
