Brocade SAN Switch SMI Agent

Description

This connector discovers the enclosures and fiber-channel ports of SAN switches as well as the various environment sensors (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the Brocade SMI Agent Proxy and can monitor multiple switches.

Connector ID: BrocadeSwitchWBEM

This connector supersedes:
