50 Configuring Fabric Watch
Step 2: Implement your switch status policy
After planning and defining your switch status policy, enter the switchStatusPolicySet command to
configure each policy. Each policy has two parameters that can be configured: Marginal and Down. Set
the number of units Marginal or Down based on your system requirements for each policy/parameter. The
following example shows a switch status policy for Temperature:
The following example shows a switch status policy for Fans:
Switch status policies are saved in a non volatile memory, and therefore are persistent until changed.
Step 3: View your switch status policy
After defining and configuring your switch status policy, you can view them using the
switchStatusPolicyShow command. Note that the policy you defined here determines the output in
the Switch Status Policy Report.
Configuring FRUs
The configuration of FRUs is an exception to the procedures described thus far in this chapter. FRUs are
monitored using state values, as opposed to the quantitative values used to monitor the rest of the fabric.
As a result of the qualitative nature of this monitoring, the concept of thresholds does not apply.
To configure FRUs:
1. Establish a telnet connection with a switch.
2. Log in using administrative privileges.
3. Enter the fwFruCfg command at the command prompt.
The fwFruCfg command displays your current FRU configuration, as shown in Figure . The types of FRUs
are different for the various platforms. In the prompt that follows your current FRU configuration, you are
Fans Fan thresholds, faulty fans.
WWN Faulty WWN card (applies to modular switches).
CP Switch does not have a redundant CP (applies to modular
switches).
Blade Faulty blades (applies to modular switches).
Flash Flash thresholds.
Marginal Ports Port, E-Port, optical port, and copper port thresholds.
Whenever these thresholds are persistently high, the port is
Marginal.
Faulty Ports Hardware-related port faults.
Missing SFPs Ports that are missing SFP media.
