Resource monitoring It is possible to exhaust resources, such as proxy PIDs. Whenever a resource is exhausted, Fabric OS generates an error message. The messages are described in the Fabric OS Message Reference. You can monitor FC router resources using the fcrResourceShow command. The fcrResourceShow command shows FCR resource limits and usage and includes the following: • For LSAN zones and LSAN devices, the information shows the maximum versus the currently used zones and device database entries. Each proxy or physical device constitutes an entry. If LSAN zones are defined in two edge fabrics, they are counted as two, rather than one. One device imported into multiple edge fabrics counts multiple times. Fabric OS 6.2 administrator guide 399
