Watch is an optional Storage Area Network (SAN) monitoring software for B-Series HP StorageWorks switches running Fabric OS 2.2 or higher. It enables each switch to constantly watch its SAN fabric for potential faults and to automatically alert you to problems long before they become costly failures - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 12
switches in the SAN through the Fabric OS configuration management utility. Fabric Watch also comes with preconfigured profiles for rapid implementation.

HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N • HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/32 • HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 4/32 problems can cause link failures. Link failures frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization. Check for concurrent loss of synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 17

Receiving switches accept only packets with the - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 18

Threshold values are of the following types: • "High and low thresholds" on page 20 • "Buffer values" on page 20 High and low thresholds High and low threshold values are the values at which potential problems might occur. For example, in configuring a temperature threshold, you can select the - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 21
high threshold. If the measured temperature exceeds the high threshold, it triggers an event. Figure 3 Time base set to none Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch administrator guide 21 - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 22
Specifying a time base If you specify a time base value other than none (seconds, minute, hour, or day), Fabric Watch does not use the current data value. Instead, it calculates the difference between the current data value and the data value as it existed one time base ago. It compares this - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 23

Below event trigger The Below event trigger generates an event when a data value becomes less than the low threshold boundary. When a buffer is defined, the data value must be below the buffer value and the low threshold.

The following instructions apply to switch using a MIB browser: 1. Open a MIB browser. 2. If not already done, load the appropriate MIB files. First load the Brocade common MIB file, followed by the Brocade HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide. 4. Enter the IP address for the switch - HP StorageWorks 2/64 | HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x Fabric Watch Administrator - Page 32
