1 Fabric Watch Components Table 1-1 describes the classes into which Fabric Watch groups all switch and fabric elements. Table 1-1 Fabric Watch Classes Class Description Environment Fabric Includes information about the physical environment in which the switch resides and the internal environment of the switch. For example, an Environment-class alarm alerts you to problems or potential problems with temperature, fans, and power. Groups areas of potential problems arising between devices, including interswitch link (ISL) details, zoning, and traffic. A Fabric-class alarm alerts you to problems or potential problems with interconnectivity. Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Performance Monitor Monitors the status of FRUs and provides an alert when a part replacement is needed. This class monitors states, not thresholds. Serves as a tuning tool. The Performance Monitor class groups areas that track the source and destination of traffic. Use the Performance Monitor class thresholds and alarms to determine traffic load and flow and to reallocate resources appropriately. The Performance Monitor class is divided into the areas AL_PA Performance Monitor, EE (end-to-end) Performance Monitor, and Filter Performance Monitor. Port Resource Performance Monitoring is not supported on VE, EX, and VEX ports. Enables you to set additional thresholds, specific to different types of ports. The Port class is made up of the following classes: • E_Port class-Represents ports connected to another switch. Note: If you are using a SilkWorm 48000 with a FR4-18i blade, or the SilkWorm 7500, the E_Port class monitors the following additional ports and creates monitors for each of the logical ports: - FCR (includes EX_Ports) - FCIP (includes VE_Ports, VEX_Ports) • F/FL_Port class -Represents fabric or fabric loop ports that are made of copper or optical fiber. Monitors flash memory. It calculates the amount of flash space consumed and compares it to a defined threshold. Security Monitors all attempts to breach your SAN security, helping you fine-tune your security measures. SFP Groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of SFPs. An SFP class alarm alerts you to a SFP malfunction fault. Note: SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored. 1-4 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-1000243-01
