Memory, host, and disk space requirements

Memory requirements are only applicable when there are no other applications running on the Network Advisor server. Paging space should be equal to or exceed the physical memory size.

NOTE

To manage more than 9000 SAN ports, you must have a 16 core processor.

NOTE

To efficiently manage more than 9000 SAN ports, it is recommended to allocate a minimum of 2 GB client memory and 6 GB server memory.

NOTE

It is recommended that you add an additional 40 GB of disk space for the default temporary directory.

NOTE

If you enable periodic supportSave or configure the Network Advisor server as the Upload Failure Data Capture location for monitored switches, you must add additional disk space. Each switch supportSave file is approximately 5 MB and each Upload Failure Data Capture file is approximately 500 KB. To determine the disk space requirements, multiply the frequency of scheduled

supportSave files by 5 MB and the expected Upload Failure Data Capture files by 500 KB before the planned periodic purge activity.

Pre-installation requirements

Pre-installation requirements

10

Before you install Network Advisor, make sure you meet the following requirements.

?Make sure all system requirements have been met prior to installation. For specific system

requirements, refer to “System requirements” on page 1.

If you are running Professional Plus or Enterprise edition on a 32-bit machine, you must migrate to a 64-bit machine within your current release, then you can migrate to Network Advisor 12.3.

?To avoid errors, close all instances of the application before beginning the installation or

uninstallation procedures.

For UNIX system, if you still receive error messages after closing the application, enter the following commands:

#ps -ef | grep -i “” to list the process IDs

#kill -9 “Process_ID” where Process_ID is any Management application process

Additional pre-installation requirements for UNIX systems

?Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client

applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor server (typically, this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged-in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).If this is a headless unit with no console, refer to “Additional pre-installation requirements for UNIX systems (headless installation)” on page 13.

?Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid

value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=Remote_IP_address:0.0). You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server, which listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.

To display to a remote system, you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running the xhost +IP command, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host from the X-based desktop of the remote system.

?Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the xterm command, from the same

shell from which you run install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display should open.

?For Linux OS with the SELinux security policy enabled, make sure you complete the following

steps.

1.Disable the SELinux security policy using the setenforce 0 command.2.Install the application (refer to “Installing the application” on page 11).3.Enable the SELinux security policy using the setenforce 1 command.

Headless installation

Headless installation, also known as silent mode installation, is fully supported on all platforms. Once initiated, the headless installation requires minimal user interaction and runs based on the default values provided. Headless installation performs the actual installation; however, you must use the Configuration wizard in graphical user interface mode to copy data and settings, configure the FTP or SCP server, configure IP, and configure server ports.

Before you install Network Advisor, make sure you meet the following requirements.Make sure all system requirements have been met prior to installation. For specific system requirements, refer to “System requirements” on page 1.

Additional pre-installation requirements for UNIX systems ?(headless installation)

An X Server display is required, even when performing a headless installation, to run the initial configuration. Before you install Network Advisor, complete the following:

?Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client

applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor server (typically, this simply requires that the system console be present and running with a logged-in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).The DISPLAY can be any host X Server (for example, DISPLAY can be set to display the configuration to another UNIX system that has an X-based desktop).

?Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid

value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=Remote_IP_Address:0.0). To display to a remote system, you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running the xhost +IP command, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host, on a local terminal window of the X-based desktop of the remote system.

You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server, which listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.

Smart Card driver installation

Smart Card driver installation

34

Windows operating systems do not require smart card drivers to be installed separately; the driver is bundled with the operating system. However, you must install a smart card driver for the Linux operating systems. You must install both the special USB Chip/Smart Card Interface Device (USB CCID) and the PC/SC IFD driver. You can download the source code and compile it from one of the following websites:

?USB CCID (ccid-1.3.7.tar.bz2) ?

Open Source URL: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html.

?Muscle PC/SC IFD Driver (pcsc-lite-1.4.101.tar.gz) ?

Open Source URL: https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group id=30105.

The Encryption Manager Client within Network Advisor provides the binary code on both platforms for installation. You must uncompress or untar the file depending on the platform. The procedures for the local client and the remote client configurations follow. The

thirdparty/pscs-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file can be found on the Network Advisor DVD.

Installing the Smart Card driver on the local client

1.Verify that the /opt directory exists.

If the /opt directory does not exist, create an /opt directory. If you want to install the driver in a different directory, create that directory. Otherwise, skip this step.

> su

> mkdir /opt

2.Copy the appropriate pscs file for your platform (Linux) from the DVD and rename the file as

pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file.3.Log in as the superuser to untar the pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file.

> su

> cd /opt

> gunzip pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz> tar -xvf pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar

After the pcsc_lite_1.4.101.tar file is extracted, the necessary binary, library, and smart card drivers are stored in the /opt/pcsc directory.

4.If you installed a pcsc directory into a location other than /opt, modify the pcscctl script to

change “/opt” to the directory you specified in step 1.

> cd > vi pcscctl?

Search for “/opt” and change it to the name of the new directory.

5.Create a soft link into the system directory. This is to support the automatic restart of the pcscd

daemon upon system restart.

If you installed the pcsc directory into the /opt directory, just create the soft link. Otherwise, use the name of the new directory in place of /opt.

S.u.s.e> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscdS.u.s.e> chkconfig --add pcscd?

or

redhat> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscdredhat> chkconfig --add pcscd

NOTEBefore you enter chkconfig --add pcscd, you can enter chkconfig –list | grep pcscd to verify that the pcscd file is already on the list. If it already exists, you do not need to enter chkconfig –add pcscd. After you reboot the system, you should expect the following links under /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, and /etc/rc5.d.??

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 28 01:50 S94pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd

NOTEFor some Linux vendors, the Smart Card driver may come with the operating system. In this case, extra system configuration may be needed. For more information, refer to “Detecting and correcting a default Linux Smart Card driver” on page 36.

6.Start the pcscd daemon or stop the pcscd daemon.

To start pcscd, type:

> /opt/pcsc/pcscctl start

To stop pcscd, type:

> /opt/pcsc/pcscctl stop

Smart Card driver installation

Installing the Smart Card driver on the remote client

1.Complete steps 1 through 4 in “Installing the Smart Card driver on the local client” on page 34.2.Run the following commands to support remote clients (Web Start).

> cd /usr/lib

> ln –s /opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so .

NOTEIf a soft link exists on libpcsclite.so, make sure that the final file is linked to

/opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so.xxx. It is recommended that you back up the original.

Example

> ls –l libpcsc*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 4 16:16 libpcsclite.so ->?libpcsclite.so.1.0.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 4 12:30 libpcsclite.so.1 ->?libpcsclite.so.1.0.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 5 14:36 libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 > mv libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 libpcsclite.so.1.0.0.org

> ln -s /opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 libpcsclite.so.1.0.0> ls –l libpcsc*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 4 16:16 libpcsclite.so ->?libpcsclite.so.1.0.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 4 12:30 libpcsclite.so.1 ->?libpcsclite.so.1.0.0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Aug 5 14:36 libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 ->?/opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35428 Aug 4 16:17 libpcsclite.so.1.0.0.org

Detecting and correcting a default Linux Smart Card driver

This section applies to the Linux system only. Some Linux systems may provide a default Smart Card driver and have their own setup to activate it. In this case, you must use the driver provided with Network Advisor. Otherwise, there could be an incompatibility issue between the driver and the native library that could cause a driver detection failure. Complete the following steps to discover whether a default driver already exists and how to reconfigure the driver environment.1.Detect a different Smart Card driver by running the following commands:

> cd /

> find . –name pcscd –print?

If the results contain “pcscd”, and it is not located under /opt/pcsc or /etc/init.d/pcscd, a different driver exists on the system.

2.Make sure the pcscd file on the /etc/init.d directory is linked to /opt/pcsc/pcscctl by running

the following commands:

> cd /etc/init.d> ls –l pcscd ?

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 28 01:29 pcscd -> /opt/pcsc/pcscctl?

Brocade Network Advisor SAN Installation and Migration Guide

53-1003374-01

Smart Card driver installation

2

3.If there is an existing pcscd script in this directory, you can move and rename this file before

you overwrite it.

> mv /etc/init.d/pcscd /etc/init.d/pcscd.org?

4.Create a soft link using the following command.

> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscd?

The existing pcscd.org script in this directory implies that a different driver version exists. You can compare the existing one with the one under /opt/pcsc/pcscd/sbin. If the size is different and the existing pcscd script contains the following information, you must clean up the driver configuration. The example below shows a different pscsd.org script and how to do the configuration cleanup. The configuration level is 2345, the start priority is 25, and the stop priority is 88.

> more /etc/init.d/pcscd

#!/bin/sh#

# pcscd Starts the pcscd Daemon#

# chkconfig: 2345 25 88?

5.Remove the existing pcscd start priority file by deleting the file as SNNpcscd, where NN is the

start priority. For example, from the preceding step, the file name is S25pcscd.

> find /etc/. –name “S25pcscd” –exec rm {} \\; -print> sync;sync;sync> reboot ?

After the reboot, the new configuration from the /opt/pcsc/pcscctl file should be under the /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, and /etc/rc5.d directories.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 28 01:50 S94pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd?

6.For the remote client, ensure that the Smart Card native library is linked to the one under

/opt/pcsc/lib.

> cd /

> find . –name libpcsclite.so* -print?

If the library libpcsclite.so* exists in multiple locations, you must ensure that there is only one library under /lib or /usr/lib, and that it is linked to the library on /opt/pcsc/lib correctly. For example, to find a copy of the library on /lib, use the following commands.

> cd /lib

> ls –al libpcsclite.so?

If a copy of the library exists, either remove it or save it as a backup.To find a copy of the library on /usr/lib, use the following commands.

> cd /usr/lib

> ls –al libpcsclite.so?

Use this copy for the soft link.

> ln –s /opt/pcsc/lib/libpcsclite.so /usr/lib/.

Data transfer

If you agree to participate in the program, these are the actions that occur on the client and server. 1.You log in to the Network Advisor client.

The main window displays.

2.The application automatically schedules a timer.

The timer is configured with an initial delay of 5 minutes and an interval of 24 hours. 3.Once scheduled, the client triggers the scheduled data transfer.

4.The client checks the reachability of the Brocade web server for the data transfer to make sure

that the client workstation has HTTP connectivity.

If the Brocade web server is reachable, the client schedules the timer.

5.The client triggers the schedule to run in 5 minutes and then every 24 hours thereafter.6.When the scheduled timer runs, the client requests the server to transfer the usage data. 7.

The server determines the availability of the data based on the following details:

?Last transfer timestamp must be greater than 24 hours to avoid frequent data uploads.?Data must be available for transfer. Data availability is determined by the difference

between the last data transfer and the current data.

8.The client requests a data transfer.

If data is available, the server nominates the client to transfer data. Once nominated, any further upload requests are denied.

NOTE

If the nominated client’s session is ended or stuck, the session is invalidated and the state is cleared.

9.The nominated client requests the server to prepare the data.

10.The server compiles the usage data text file into a .zip file using the following naming

convention: UUID_usagedata_file_creataion_timestamp, where UUID is the unique identification of the server based on the MAC address.

1.Go to Install_Home/bin.2.Execute ./smc or sh smc.3.Click the Services tab.

The tab lists the DCFM services.4.Click Start, if necessary.

?Make sure that an X Server is available for display and is configured to permit X Client

applications to display from the host on which they are installing the Network Advisor Server (typically, this simply requires that the systems console be present and running with a logged in user on the X Server-based desktop session, such as KDE, GNOME, and so on).

?Make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is correctly defined in the shell with a valid

value (for example, to display to the local console, export DISPLAY=:0.0, or to display to a remote system that has an X Server running, export DISPLAY=Remote_IP_Address:0.0). You may also need to consider a firewall that might block the display to the X Server which listens by default on TCP port 6000 on the remote host.

To display to a remote system you need to permit the remote display of the X Server by running command xhost +IP, where IP is the IP address of the Network Advisor server host from the X-based desktop of the remote system.

?Make sure you test the DISPLAY definition by running the command xterm from the same shell

from which you run install.bin. A new X terminal window to the destination X Server display should open.

Additional trial requirements

?Two versions of the Management application (DCFM or Network Advisor) cannot reside on the

same host unless there are two guest operating systems on the same host.

?Data collected during the Trial cannot be migrated back to the Professional software.?Once the Enterprise trial period expires, you must upgrade to Licensed software.

Management server and client ports

A

Management server and client ports

The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on one machine and stores device-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view

information through a user interface, you must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate machines. If you are running Professional, the server and the client must be on the same machine.

In some cases, a network may utilize virtual private network (VPN) or firewall technology, which can prohibit communication between Products and the Servers or Clients. In other words, a Server or Client can find a Product, appear to log in, but is immediately logged out because the Product cannot reach the Server or Client. To resolve this issue, check to determine if the ports in the table below need to be opened up in the firewall. Professional edition does not support remote clients.

Table 16 lists the default port numbers and whether or not it needs to be opened up in the firewall and includes the following information:

NOTE

?????

Port Number — The port at the destination end of the communication path.Ports — The name of the port.

Transport — The transport type (TCP or UDP). Description — A brief description of the port.

Communication Path — The “source” to “destination” values. Client and Server refer to the Management application client and server unless stated otherwise. Product refers to the Fabric OS, Network OS, or IronWare OS devices.

?Open in Firewall — Whether the port needs to be open in the firewall.
