Basic Switch Management Switch Status Policies For detailed information about setting policy parameters, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide. The policy parameter determines the number of failed or non-operational units for each contributor that will trigger a status change in the switch. Each parameter can be adjusted so that a specific threshold must be reached before that parameter changes the overall status of a switch to MARGINAL or DOWN. For example, if the FaultyPorts DOWN parameter is set to 3, the status of the switch will change if 3 ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs to pass the MARGINAL or DOWN threshold to change the overall status of the switch. There are seven parameters that determine the status of a switch: ■ Number of faulty ports ■ Missing GBICs ■ Power supply status ■ Temperature in enclosure ■ Fan speed ■ Port status ■ ISL status Viewing the Policy Threshold Values To view the switch status policy threshold values: 1. Log into the switch as the admin user. 2. Enter the switchstatuspolicyshow command at the command line. 58 Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
