In HPE B-series Gen6 Fibre Channel switches, two key features that address the need for real-time monitoring and accelerated troubleshooting are MAPS (Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite) and Fabric Vision.
MAPS provides proactive monitoring and alerting, allowing administrators to establish policies that automatically trigger alerts when performance thresholds are crossed, helping prevent issues before they impact the environment.
Fabric Vision is a comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics tool that enables administrators to visualize the health and performance of the SAN fabric, allowing for rapid identification and resolution of issues. Together, these features help maintain high performance and reliability in SAN environments.

To make the integration of a Windows-based server with an all-flash Nimble array easier, HPE's Connection Manager (Option C) is the recommended tool. Connection Manager simplifies the configuration of iSCSI or Fibre Channel connections between the server and the Nimble storage array. It helps automate the setup process, ensuring that the best practices for connectivity are followed, which results in optimized performance and reliability.
This tool is particularly useful for administrators who may not be storage experts, as it streamlines the complex tasks associated with connecting servers to enterprise-grade storage systems.
