IT organizations are facing an ever-increasing volume and velocity of data, yet users still expect data centers to deliver maximum performance, business intelligence, and operational efficiency. As organizations race to modernize the data center to support innovation and digital transformation, these demands are driving the storage network to evolve even faster to accommodate new applications. Administrators therefore need ways to easily visualize, manage, and analyze their SAN performance and overall operational health at scale. This is a daunting task owing to the growing complexity of their IT environments and the lack of easy-to-use SAN management tools.
HPE SANnav Management Software empowers IT administrators to be more efficient and productive by providing comprehensive visibility into the SAN environment. They accelerate administrative tasks by simplifying workflows and automating redundant steps, making it easier for organizations to realize their goal of an autonomous SAN. It implements a highly scalable client-server architecture for SAN management with a modern browser-based UI eliminating the need for a Java-based thick client. SANnav uses a micro-services based architecture based on Docker container technology that allows it to scale to meet the management needs of both small and large SAN environments.
HPE SANnav Management Software is the next-generation SAN management application suite for HPE B-series SAN environments. It consists of SANnav Management Portal Software and SANnav Global View Software:

-
SANnav Management Portal
SANnav Management Portal allows management of one or more SAN fabrics that are in the same or different geographical locations and support up to a maximum of 15,000 physical SAN ports. For environments larger than 15,000 ports, multiple SANnav Management Portal instances can be deployed.
It monitors and manages fabrics, switches, switch ports and other SAN elements. Dashboards provide summary status and performance information with optional drill downs for detailed views. A highly flexible reporting infrastructure enables generation of custom graphical or tabular reports.
Monitoring
Discovery
SANnav Management Portal starts the discovery process by contacting the backbone and edge devices in the SAN before starting to monitor and manage a fabric. Post discovery, monitoring is automatically enabled on the fabric and on all switches in the fabric. When monitoring is enabled, the following occurs:
- − Data collection happens periodically at an interval depending on the size of the SAN
- − SANnav interface displays are updated with the latest fabric and switch information
- − SANnav registers itself as an Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap recipient and Syslog message recipient
Notes: All switches in the fabric must be running FOS 8.2.0 or higher
Dashboards, Reports and Topology visualization
SANnav dashboards provide a functional, seamless and customizable view of the SAN environments for effective and efficient monitoring and troubleshooting. Some of the key capabilities of dashboards include the following:
- − Live monitoring of network health and performance
- − Ability to build custom content for static and dynamic views
- − Out-of-the-box widgets to monitor switch and port status and error and performance statistics
- − Ability to customize content using network scope and date range
SANnav provides "out-of-the-box" Health Summary and Network Port Traffic Conditions dashboards. SANnav Management Portal implements a highly flexible reporting infrastructure to enable generation of custom static reports of SAN environment. Reports are generated in PDF, HTML, and CSV formats and are downloaded as a .zip file during Export.
Performance monitoring
SANnav Management Portal provides real-time and historical data of performance and error information for Fiber Channel ports, Ethernet ports, GbE ports, and extension tunnels and circuits. It collects data for a specific set of fabrics from the managed devices in the SAN and generates historical performance data for selected ports. It also provides real-time performance monitoring to investigate port issues and caches the time-series data temporarily for faster access. Data collection for performance metrics for ports (like traffic and errors) and for switches (like CPU utilization and memory utilization) is enabled via SNMP v3.
Inventory management
SANnav Management Portal Inventory page is a central location where the inventory of all discovered fabrics, switches, switch ports, hosts, host ports, storage, storage ports, extension tunnels and trunks can be viewed and managed. Additional detailed investigations, configuration operations and other tasks can be done for the managed object too.
Configuration
Policy-based configuration
SAN Management Portal makes sure that all the switches in the SAN are conforming to a defined configuration. It can periodically check that the switches are conforming to the policy, identify switches that are not conforming, display the configuration drifts, and allow synchronization of the switches to the policy.
- − Provisioning switches - It makes provisioning new switches easier by importing configuration settings from one switch and saving the configuration to multiple switches.
- − Configuration drifts - It monitors switch configuration that are different from what is defined in the configuration policy. This can further be resolved by either replacing the configuration on the switch or updating the configuration policy.
- − Configurations are defined using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schema format.
Event Management
SANnav Management Portal can configure traps; register to receive SNMP traps, syslog events, and other information from switches. It can view, search and filter event logs and forward SNMP traps and syslog messages to selected destinations.
Following are some of the actions that can be configured for events:
- − Generating email alerts
- − Triggering SupportSave
- − Enabling maintenance mode to suppress switch events in the event log
A powerful event analysis can be performed by filtering events using network scope, date range, and custom filters. Searching can be performed within the event log and generate event reports.
Zoning
Through Zoning, the administrator can partition the network into logical groups of devices. This partition allows the devices to inter-connect and prevent access from the other devices outside the group, thereby providing increased network security and stability. This also relieves the network from Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) storms created due to multiple devices interactions.
Using the Zone Management option in the SANnav Management Portal the following tasks can be performed:
- − Create zone aliases
- − Create standard zones, peer zones, logical SAN (LSAN) zones, and LSAN peer zones
- − Create zone configurations
- − Create offline zones
- − Configure zones from the Inventory page
In addition, SANnav Management Portal implements a highly simplified workflow called “Simplified Zoning” to create peer zones. Simplified zoning workflow allows to easily create and activate peer zones in SANs. Zone creation can be initiated from the inventory view of hosts, host ports, or storage ports. Created peer zones are automatically activated in the fabrics based on the devices selected.
For example, if one chooses a host that has ports in A and B fabrics and select target ports from A and B fabrics, LSAN peer zones are created and activated in both A and B fabrics.
Monitoring and Alerting policy Suite
The SANnav Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) feature enables configuring and monitoring policies on the discovered switches in a fabric. The Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS) is an optional storage area network (SAN) health monitor that can enable each switch to constantly monitor its SAN fabric for potential faults and automatically provide alert (email messages, SNMP traps, log entries) for problems long before they become costly failures. MAPS provides customizable monitoring thresholds. MAPS can be configured to provide notifications before problems arise, such as reporting when network traffic through a port is approaching the bandwidth limit. This information enables to perform preemptive network maintenance, such as trunking or zoning, and avoid potential network failures.
Fibre Channel Routing
Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) connects two or more fabrics without merging the fabrics. The FC router connects two or more fabrics through EX_ or VEX_Ports. SANnav Management Portal enables viewing all discovered backbone fabrics and connected edge fabrics, creating new backbone fabrics, and configuring Ex_Ports.
Notes: In SANnav Management Portal, an Integrated Routing License on the switch is required for configuring EX_Ports.
SANnav Global View
SANnav Global View provides a comprehensive view of a SAN environment that spans multiple SANnav Management Portal instances. It enables you to navigate seamlessly across multiple SANnav Management Portal instances and drill down to any individual SANnav Management Portal instance to perform detailed monitoring, investigation and troubleshooting.
Notes: SANnav Global View is a separate product from SANnav Management Portal, and requires separate installation and licensing.
Dashboards
With Brocade SANnav Global View, administrators can quickly visualize the health, performance, and inventory of multiple SANnav Management Portal instances using a simple, intelligent dashboard. The easy to read and customizable tabs provide Global View inventory information about fabrics, switches, switch ports, host & storage devices/ports, application events and configuration settings.
Data is retrieved from SANnav Management Portal instances on-demand (data is not stored in a Global View database), and the Global View dashboard is auto-refreshed every 15 minutes.
The Global View Summary dashboard provides the following widgets: Health summary, Switch Health, Alerts, and Port Usage Summary. These widgets indicate the status of the fabric, switch, host, and storage entities connected to SANnav Global View.
Fabric health Summary: The Fabric Health widget of SANnav Global View shows the number of fabrics in Healthy, Degraded, and Poor state. The least overall score across all objects in this group of fabrics is displayed.
Switch health Summary: The Switch Health widget displays details of switch health across selected Management Portal instances. A summarized view as well as details of switches based on firmware version, SANnav Management Portal instance, switch model and product category (Switch, Embedded Switch, Access Gateway, Directors, Extension) Category can also be obtained.
Port Usage Summary: The Port Usage Summary widget displays data for each SANnav Management Portal instance categorized by the number of device:
- − Ports, unused ports, and ISL/IFL ports
- − Device ports include F_, L_, and N_Ports
- − Unused ports include G_ and U_Ports
- − ISL/IFL ports include E_ and EX_Ports
This widget covers only the FC ports. FCIP and ETH ports are not covered as part of the widget.
Alert Summary: For each SANnav Management Portal instance, the Alert widget displays the count of alerts, those switch-generated and those triggered by special events and configuration drifts. The supported Alert categories are Errors, Call Home, Special and FPI Events.
Similar to SANnav Management Portal, SANnav Global View enables you to set up the authentication and authorization policies for Local Database, LDAP, RADIUS and TACACS+.

Fabric Vision
Fabric Vision technology provides a breakthrough hardware and software solution that helps simplify monitoring, availability, increase operational stability, and dramatically reduces costs.
Featuring innovative monitoring, management, and diagnostic capabilities, Fabric Vision technology
Enables administrators to avoid problems before they impact operations, helping their organizations meet SLAs. Fabric Vision Includes:
- − Dashboards: Provides integrated dashboards that display an overall SAN health view, along with details on out-of-range conditions, to help administrators easily identify trends and quickly pinpoint issues occurring on a switch or in a fabric
- − IO Insight: Proactively monitors IO performance and behavior through integrated network sensors, providing deep insight into problems and helping to ensure service levels. This capability non-disruptively and non-intrusively gathers IO statistics from any device port, then feeds them to a monitoring policy that sets thresholds and generates alerts
- − VM Insight: This software applies IO Insight visibility for each Virtual Machine (VM). Integrated VM, application & device-level IO latency and IOPS monitoring enables administrators to set the baseline for application performance and identify the VM or physical layer responsible for the degraded performance
- − Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite (MAPS): Simplifies fabric-wide threshold configuration, monitoring, and alerting with pre-built, rule- or policy-based templates. Administrators can configure the entire fabric (or multiple fabrics) at one time using common rules and policies, or customize policies for specific ports or switch elements. In addition, administrators can use IO Insight metrics to set thresholds in MAPS policies in order to be notified of application, VM, and storage IO performance degradation
- − Fabric Performance Impact (FPI) Monitoring: Leverages predefined MAPS policies to automatically detect and alert administrators to different latency severity levels, and to identify slow drain devices that could impact network performance. This feature identifies various latency severity levels, pinpointing exactly which devices are causing or are impacted by a bottlenecked port, and quarantines slow drain devices automatically to prevent buffer credit starvation
- − Configuration and Operational Monitoring Policy Automation Services Suite (COMPASS): Simplifies deployment, safeguards consistency, and increases operational efficiencies of larger environments with automated switch and fabric configuration services. Administrators can configure a template or adopt an existing configuration to seamlessly deploy a configuration across the fabric
- − ClearLink Diagnostics: Ensures optical and signal integrity for Fibre Channel optics and cables, simplifying deployment and support of high-performance fabrics. ClearLink Diagnostic Port (D_Port) is an advanced capability of Fibre Channel platforms
- − Flow Vision: A comprehensive tool that enables administrators to identify, monitor, and analyze specific application data flows in order to simplify troubleshooting, maximize performance and avoid congestion without using taps to ensure optimized performance:
- • Flow Monitor: Provides comprehensive visibility, automatic learning, and non-disruptive monitoring of a flow’s performance. Administrators can monitor all flows from a specific host to multiple targets or volumes, from multiple hosts to a specific target/volume, or across a specific ISL. Additionally, they can perform volume-level monitoring of specific frame types to identify resource contention or congestion that is impacting application performance. With the IO Insight capability, administrators can monitor first IO response time, IO completion time, the number of pending IOs, and IOPS metrics for a flow from a specific host to a target or volume running SCSI or NVMe over Fibre Channel traffic. With VM Insight, administrators can monitor network throughput and IO statistics for each VM
- • Flow Learning: Enables administrators to non-disruptively discover all flows that go to or come from a specific host port or a storage port, or traverse ISLs/IFLs or FCIP tunnels, to monitor fabric-wide application performance. In addition, administrators can discover top and bottom bandwidth-consuming devices and manage capacity planning
- • Flow Generator: Provides a built-in traffic generator for pretesting and validating the data center infrastructure for robustness—including route verification and integrity of optics, cables, ports, back-end connections, and ISLs—before deploying applications
- − Flow Mirroring: Enables administrators to non-disruptively create copies of specific application and data flows or frame types that can be captured for in-depth analysis
- − Credit Loss Recovery: Automatically detects and recovers buffer credit loss at the Virtual Channel (VC) level, providing protection against performance degradation and enhancing application availability
Extended Fabric
- − Optional license which extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre
- − Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre
- − Channel standard
ISL Trunking
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight 32 Gbps SFP+ ports per ISL trunk or up to two 128 Gbps QSFP ports per ISL trunk to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 32Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 256Gb) when routing connections between 32Gb switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.
Adaptive Networking
Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:
- − Ingress Rate Limiting
- − Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs
Quality of Service (QoS)
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
Traffic Isolation Zones
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and topology.
HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR
HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR, which is included with HPE 3PAR All-inclusive software and is optionally available for 3PAR systems without All-inclusive software. Smart SAN for 3PAR simplifies and automates traditional error-prone and tedious SAN zoning and host provisioning to just a few clicks or complex zoning configurations in minutes orchestrated from 3PAR.
This allows a storage administrator to zone and provision the SAN with little or no FC expertise. It is an application embedded in SAN components (array, hosts and switches) that enables 3PAR arrays to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies across the SAN. Smart SAN is supported with HPE B-series Switches, Fibre Channel adapters (HBAs) and 3PAR storage. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR through takes advantage of Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA) T11 standards Peer Zoning and uses Target Driven Peer. Zoning (TDPZ) feature in Smart SAN which enables customers to automate peer zoning, resulting in the creation of fewer zones and enables configuration of zones in minutes and not in hours. Through automation, it reduces the probability of errors and potential downtime.
