Brocade SAN Switch – Documentation

This connector discovers the enclosure and fiber-channel ports of SAN switches as well as various environment sensors (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the SNMP protocol and supports the Brocade MIB (fcSwitch-MIB).

This connector is superseded by:

BrocadeSwitchWBEM^[2]

This connector supersedes:

FibreAllianceSwitch^[3]
GenericSwitchEnclosure^[4]

Target

Typical platform: Brocade SAN

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: Brocade SNMP Agent (fcSwitch)

Technology and protocols: SNMP

Examples

CLI

metricshub HOSTNAME -t linux -c +BrocadeSwitch --snmp v2c --community public

metricshub.yaml

resourceGroups:
  <RESOURCE_GROUP>:
    resources:
      <HOSTNAME-ID>:
        attributes:
          host.name: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
          host.type: linux
        selectConnectors: [ BrocadeSwitch ] # Optional, to load only this connector
        protocols:
          snmp:
            version: v2c # Read documentation for v1, v2c and v3
            community: public # or probably something more secure

Connector Activation Criteria

The Brocade SAN Switch connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

An SNMP Get-Next on the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.1.1.1 must return a value in the same subtree
