Event Manager displays events it receives from CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager. As of version 9.5, InVsn Enterprise Manager does not provide events to the management server. As future versions of CNT InVsn Enterprise Manager provide event support, the management server will be able to provide information about those events.
Issues with Brocade Switches

Issues with McDATA and Connectrix Switches
•If you discovered McDATA and/or Connectrix switches through SWAPI, Event Manager does not report events for switch hardware failures, except for those regarding switch ports (port offline/port online).
•If you are not receiving events from McDATA and Connectrix switches discovered through SNMP, make sure you have the correct port set for receiving SNMP traps. You must also configure the proxy or each switch (depending on your configuration for discovery) to send the SNMP traps to the correct port on the management server. See ”Discovering McDATA and EMC Connectrix Switches” on page 38 for more information.
•If you want the management server to receive SNMP events from Connectrix or McDATA switches, do one of the following:
•If you discovered Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, enable SNMP trap forwarding only to the management server on the Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager, not on the individual switches. Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager should be configured to forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server; and the community string should match the user ID you used to discover Connectrix Manager or EFC Manager.
•If you discovered Connectrix or McDATA switches directly, enable SNMP trap forwarding on the switches, and not on any other management software. The switches should be configured to forward SNMP traps to the IP address of the management server, and the community string should match the user ID you used to discover the Connectrix or McDATA switches.
