Switch status policy planning
10
Implementing your switch status policy
After you planned and defined your switch status policy, implement it using the following
procedure.
1.
Enter the
switchStatusPolicySet
command to configure each policy.
Each policy has two parameters that can be configured: Marginal and Down.
2.
Set the number of units Marginal or Down based on your system requirements for each policy
or parameter.
The following example shows a switch status policy for Temperature:
Bad Temperatures contributing to DOWN status: (0..10) [0] 3
Bad Temperatures contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..10) [0] 1
The following example shows a switch status policy for Fans:
Bad Fans contributing to DOWN status: (0..3) [0] 2
Bad Fans contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..3) [0] 1
Switch status policies are saved in a nonvolatile memory, and therefore are persistent until
changed.
Viewing your switch status policy
After you have defined and configured your switch status policy, view it with the following
command:
switchStatusPolicyShow
The policy you defined here determines the output in the Switch Status Policy Report.
See
Chapter 9, “Fabric Watch Reports”
for more details about the Switch Status Policy Report.
