Step 1: Plan and Define Your Switch Status
Policy
Before entering the
switchStatusPolicySet
command, plan your switch status policy. How many fans
must fail before you consider a switch Marginal? Look at the needs of your system along with the factors
that affect its monitors.
Table 3-12
lists the monitors in a switch and identifies the factors that affect their
health. Note that not all switches use the monitors listed in
Table 3-12
.

Power Supplies
Power supply thresholds, absent or failed power supply.
For SilkWorm 24000 and 48000, can also occur when Power Supplies are not in
the correct slot for redundancy.
Temperatures
Temperature thresholds, faulty temperature sensors.
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.
