Watch User Interfaces HP Fabric OS software provides the following interfaces that you can use to monitor and manipulate Fabric Watch: ■ Telnet ■ Web Tools ■ SNMP-Based Enterprise Managers ■ API ■ Configuration File/Profiles Telnet With a telnet session you can: ■ Query fabric and switch events - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 | HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch V3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide ( - Page 30
then download the file to all switches in a fabric to ensure a uniform configuration file throughout the fabric, with uniform Fabric Watch configurations. You can upload and download the configuration file through a telnet session or with Web Tools. 30 Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 | HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch V3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide ( - Page 31
thresholds for E_Ports and for F/FL_Ports. You can then disconnect a JBOD from a port and connect a switch (changing the port from an F_Port to an E_Port), and Fabric Watch automatically begins to monitor the new E_Port as it does the other E_Ports.

hardware problems can cause link loss errors. Link loss errors frequently occur due to a loss of synchronization. Check for concurrent Loss of Synchronization errors and, if applicable, troubleshoot that segmented. ■ The port has become a trunk port. 34 Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 | HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch V3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide ( - Page 35

Because zoning is a security provision, frequent zone changes probably mean a security breach or weakness. Zone change messages occur whenever there is a change in zone configurations - HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 | HP StorageWorks Fabric Watch V3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide ( - Page 36
when the number of User configuration triggers these messages. Use the transmit performance area to tune your network. The customer define area relies on performance monitor telnet commands.
