This provider communicates with CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager to obtain information about the

switch. The provider requires a certain version of InVsn depending on the switch model. See the

following table for more information.

IMPORTANT:

The InVsn credentials are used by the SMI-S provider. Make sure the SMI-S provider

is enabled as described in the steps in this section.

Keep in mind the following for CNT switches:

SNMP is not supported for CNT switches.

CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager must be running for the management server to discover it.

The management server does not support provisioning for CNT switches. Only the active zone

set and its zone members are reported.

No ports are reported for uninstalled blades or GBICs.
