FRU monitoring 8 FRU monitoring Supported FRU areas depend on the type of Brocade switch. For the following switches, the slot and WWN areas are not supported: • Brocade 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, and 5300 switches • 7500, 7500E, 7600, and 7600E extension switches • Brocade DCX and DXC-4S Data Center Backbone • Brocade Encryption Switch FRU class areas Table 28 lists Product Name areas in the FRU class and describes each area. Possible states for all FRU-class areas are absent, faulty, inserted, on, off, ready, and up. Configure the FRU class using the fwFruCfg command TABLE 28 FRU class areas Area Indicates Fan Power supply Slot WWN State of a fan has changed. State of a power supply has changed. State of a slot has changed. State of a WWN card has changed. Configuring FRUs The configuration of field-replaceable units (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. 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. The types of FRUs are different for the various platforms.
