SHA-2 is available today with CA's eHealth and HP's OVPI. Both of these
NMS applications get SNMPv3 support through a 3rd party add-on from
SNMP Research called the Distributed SNMP Security Pack (DSSP) which 
supports SHA-2 as an optional feature. DSSP can be made to work with 
other NMSs as well.  The SNMP manager and agent toolkits from SNMP 
Research also support SHA-2.
