monitor class areas incrementally, you should configure Fabric Watch to monitor the classes in the
following order:
•
Step 1. Monitor Fabric class areas
•
Domain ID changes
•
Fabric logins
•
Fabric reconfiguration
•
Loss of E_Port
•
Segmentation changes
•
SFP state changes
•
Zoning changes
•
Step 2: Monitor Port class areas:
•
Invalid CRCs
•
Invalid Transmission Words
•
Link Failure Count
•
Loss of Signal Count
•
Loss of Sync Count
•
Packet Loss
•
Primitive Sequence Protocol Error
•
Receive (RX) Performance
•
Step 3: Monitor FRU class areas:
•
Slot
•
Power supply
•
Fan
•
WWN

Chapter 3, “Fabric Watch components,”
for a description of all configurable Fabric Watch
classes and areas.
