Issue

Even when SNMP settings/access control are properly configured, an attempt to add a Brocade switch to monitoring via SNMPv3 results in error: 
 

::> storage switch add -snmp-version SNMPv3 -snmp-community-or-username snmpv3user -address 10.20.30.40
  (storage switch add)

Error: command failed: Internal error. Failed to add switch for monitoring on node "NodeA_1" in cluster "ClusterA". Reason: Failed to check if device located at "10.20.30.40" is from supported vendor. For further assistance, contact technical support.
