      ProbeFCs

      Power supply units (PSUs) in NAS and SAN probes are numbered 1 and 2, from left to right, as viewed when facing the back panel. The PSUs are hot-swappable.

      Note

      Before configuring hardware probes, it is recommended that any Brocade and/or Cisco SAN Integrations are configured and have completed their initial discoveries.

      Follow these steps to create any of the hardware probes.

      1. From the Settings page, click Performance Probe Inventory to access Probes and Integrations.

        The Performance Probe Inventory page is displayed.

        The column headings are defined in the following table:

        Table 10. Performance Probe Inventory Parameters

        Column Heading

        Definition

        Probe Name

        The name you assign to the probe

        IP Address

        IP address of the probe

        Probe Type

        Type of hardware probe, for example, ProbeFC-16G-24

        Status

        Status of the probe: Subscribed, Unsubscribed, Offline, or Faulted (subscribed, but not receiving data).

        Version

        Firmware version, for example, 6.2.1

        Messages

        Status information

        Unassociated Links

        Number of “unassociated links” (links that VirtualWisdom is unable to autoplace); this value is a whole number.



      2. Select ProbeFC from the New drop down menu.

        ProbeFC refers to all probes in the ProbeFC family.

      3. Enter the IP address of the probe and click Next.

        You can use the VirtualWisdom UI to change a Performance Probe’s IP address if the initial configuration (Initial IP) is already set. IP addresses can be changed if the old and new IP addresses can be routed from the appliance.

        If the probe firmware is incompatible with VirtualWisdom, a message is displayed that identifies that the probe is running incompatible firmware and the Upgrade button displays on the page.

        s82hDVt9r5fJ3hoNwyRSqA.jpg

        Proceed to Step 4.

        If the probe firmware is compatible with VirtualWisdom, the Create New ProbeFC page displays. Proceed to Step 5.

      4. Follow these steps to upgrade the probe firmware.

        1. Click Upgrade to upgrade the firmware.

          The “Upgrading message” and Close button appear.

          l1_2EPTyQltLOZYcnM8Jqg.jpg
        2. Click Close.

          The Hardware Probes Inventory page displays, with the probe listed in the inventory. Notice the that Version column in the inventory shows the firmware version, followed by Upgrading...

          A firmware upgrade takes approximately fifteen minutes, during which time you are not able to configure the probe.

          When the upgrade is finished, click the probe in the inventory list to display the Create New ProbeFC page. Proceed to Step 5.

        Assuming that your probe is running compatible firmware, the Create New ProbeFC page displays. This page is pre-populated with information discovered regarding the probe of the specified IP address. Use the scroll bar to navigate the full Create New ProbeFC page.

      5. Verify the probe configuration.

        With the exception of the Subscription status, the information regarding the probe on the Create New ProbeFC page is auto-detected from the hardware probe configuration (and was input from either the probe LCD screen or the Configuration Wizard of the probe).

        Descriptions of the parameters on this page are as follows:

        Table 11. Create Hardware Probe Parameters

        Parameter

        Description

        Probe Name

        Hostname of the probe

        Serial Number

        Probe ID

        Probe Type

        Type of probe: ProbeFC8, ProbeFC8-HD, ProbeFC8-HD48, ProbeFC-16G-24, ProbeFC-16G-12

        Version

        Firmware version of the probe

        Network Address

        Network settings (static or DHCP) of the probe

        NTP Server Address

        NTP server configuration for the probe, can specify up to three

        DNS

        DNS server setting for the probe, typically two

        MAC Address

        Network port MAC address

        Subscription

        Subscribe or unsubscribe the probe, values are Subscribed (default) or Unsubscribed

        Enable Locator LED

        Enable the locator LED on the probe



        The following are descriptions for the column headings in the Ports section of the page:

        Table 12. Column Headings in the Ports Section

        Column Heading

        Definition

        Port

        Port Number.

        Link Mode

        Auto or manual link association, auto is the default.

        Link

        Link association of the link, values are Discovering or WWN_dev <--> WWN_switch, meaning that the association between the device and switch has been discovered, (WWN_dev is the WWN of the device, and WWN_switch is the WWN of the switch).

        Note

        Before Link Associations can be configured the following conditions must be met:

        • Brocade and/or Cisco SAN Integrations must have completed their discoveries

        • Probes must be subscribed for at least 10 minutes to allow NTP to synchronize and provide relevant data

        • Hardware Diagnostics for each Probe must show no link errors

        Link License

        Type of license, values are Auto Assign, None, 4 G, 8 G, 16G, where Auto Assign chooses the license based on link speed.

        Configured Speed

        Configured speed, values are: no sync, Auto Sense (sense automatically), 1 Gb, 2 Gb, 4 Gb, 8 Gb and 16 Gb.

        If set to Auto Sense, VirtualWisdom applies the license type to the discovered speed. If no licenses are available for the specific link speed observed, VirtualWisdom attempts to assign a higher link speed license (if available).

        Current Speed

        Current detected speed, values are: no sync,1 Gb, 2 Gb, 4 Gb, 8 G, 16 Gb, 24 Gb.

        Bulk Configuration

        Allows for bulk configuration of ports



      6. In the Ports section of the page, select each port that you want to configure by checking the check box by the port number.

        If you want to configure all the selected ports with the same Link License and Configured Speed values, you can do a “Bulk Configuration” of multiple ports. Skip to Step 9.

      7. Choose the Link License for each selected port by clicking on the corresponding Link License column and choosing the link license value from the drop down menu.

      8. Choose the Configured Speed for each selected port by clicking on the corresponding Configured Speed column and choosing the configured speed from the drop down menu.

      9. After selecting multiple ports to be configured, click Bulk Configuration.

        The Bulk Configure Ports dialog box displays.

      10. Choose the License Speed and Configured Speed for the selected ports. Click OK.

      11. Verify that the settings that you chose as well as the pre-populated ones are correct.

      12. Click Save on the Create New ProbeFC page to commit the changes and create the new hardware probe.

        The Hardware Probes Inventory page displays, with your newly created probe listed in the inventory list.
