ProSphere does not support discovery of VDC (virtual device context) and Fabric extenders. Note: ProSphere only discovers Fibre Channel ports for switches that have both Fibre Channel and Ethernet connectivity. ProSphere supports neither FCoE nor switch interoperability modes. 6 EMC ProSphere Support Matrix Switch discovery Supported EMC/Brocade FOS switches Table 5 on page 7 lists the EMC/Brocade FOS switch family and SMI provider versions that ProSphere supports. Refer to the CMCNE Release Notes at EMC Support (support.emc.com) for documentation of the capabilities of the integrated SMI Agent. Compare the switch firmware versions supported by the provider and the EMC Support Matrix (support.emc.com) for switch and connectivity support considerations. EMC recommends that the most recent supported provider version (that supports the switch hardware) be used. If a particular hardware support requires the use of a legacy stand-alone Brocade SMI Agent, refer to the SMI Agent release notes located on the Brocade website (brocade.com).

There is no support for discovery and reporting on any AIX partitions. Note: For ProSphere to discover SNIA qualified HBAs: - The HBA driver installed must be SNIA HBA API 2.0 compliant. - The vendor specific SNIA libraries must be installed on the target host. - The HBA model number and part number should be verified before updating the hosts with SNIA libraries required for HBA drivers. Additional information for Emulex HBAs are located at www.emulex.com and QLogic HBAs at www.qlogic.com Browser requirements ProSphere requires Adobe Flash Player version 10.2.153.1 or later, which is available for most popular browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. If your Flash player is older than this version, upgrade to the latest available Flash player. ProSphere is best displayed on a monitor set to a resolution of 1024x768 or higher. Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 is required as the security setting for the web browser. Ensure that your browser accepts cookies and that pop-up blockers are disabled. For browsers in which the launching window does not automatically close (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer), it is necessary to use a new browser instance for each ProSphere login. The browser retains cookies directing it to the previous ProSphere application, even after you enter the URL for a new ProSphere website. Note: A browser instance can be reused if the cookies for the appropriate ProSphere website are deleted.
