NOTE: With 7.0.0a, the operational hours information is not accurate, but will be corrected in a future release of 7.0.0x. NOTE: By default, Fabric Watch monitoring is disabled on 16 Gbps SFP+, 10 Gbps SFP+, and 16 Gbps QSFP. Advanced sfptype monitoring can be enabled on these SFPs using the new command thmonitor. SFP monitored as a FRU (Field Replaceable Unit) In Fabric OS 7.0.0a, Fabric Watch has been enhanced to monitor SFPs as FRUs (Field Replaceable Units). If a FRU state changes, Fabric Watch sends an email or generates a RASlog message. Users can configure email or RASlog actions for each FRU state using the fwFruCfg CLI. Additional Fabric Watch Enhancements • Pause and Continue monitoring functionality is provided to monitor specific components at an element level granularity in Fabric OS 7.0.0a. This feature allows users to stop or start monitoring of a set of thresholds related to certain class, area, and index. • Thresholds for Packet loss area of VE port class can be configured to a real number up to two decimal places (0.00 to 100.00). • All parameters under port monitoring and SFP monitoring are not monitored on ports without SFPs. Only voltage, temperature, and power-on-hours parameters of SFPs are monitored for offline ports (where SFPs are physically present but ports are offline). • Fabric Watch supports monitoring End-to-End and Frame monitor classes on Access Gateway platforms. • The fwconfigure and fwshow CLIs are not supported in Fabric OS 7.0.0a. • Second time base and changed event are not supported in Fabric OS 7.0.0a. If any of this is configured, then the upgrade to Fabric OS 7.0.0a is blocked. Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM) Enhancements Coexistence of TopTalkers and FCR on 16 Gbps platforms In Fabric OS 7.0.0a, TopTalkers (Fabricmode/Port level) and FCR features can be enabled simultaneously on the HP SN8000B 8-Slot SAN Backbone Director Switch and the HP SN8000B 4-Slot SAN Director Switch 16 Gbps platforms with 16 Gbps based blades only.
