8 FRU monitoring • Missing SFPs-Monitors the number of ports without SFPs. • Error Ports-Ports that are disabled because of segmentation, an authentication failure, port fencing, or bottleneck detection. The policy you defined determines the output in the Switch Status Policy Report. See Chapter 10, "Fabric Watch Reports," for more details about the Switch Status Policy Report. FRU monitoring Supported FRU areas depend on the type of Brocade switch. For the following switches, the slot and WWN areas are not supported: • Brocade 300, 5100, and 5300 switches • Brocade DCX and DCX-4S Data Center Backbone • Brocade Encryption Switch FRU class areas Table 29 lists Fabric Watch areas in the FRU class and describes each area. Possible states for all FRU-class areas are absent or removed, faulty, inserted, on, off, ready, and up. Configure the FRU class using the fwFruCfg command TABLE 29 FRU class areas Area Description Fan Power supply Slot WWN SFP State of a fan has changed. State of a power supply has changed. State of a slot has changed. State of a WWN card has changed. State of the SFP has changed. Configuring FRUs The configuration of field-replaceable units (FRUs) is an exception to the procedures described thus far in this chapter. FRUs are monitored using state values, as opposed to the quantitative values used to monitor the rest of the fabric. As a result of the qualitative nature of this monitoring, the concept of thresholds does not apply. NOTE The Off state is applicable only to fans on some platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and Brocade DCX-4S. The Off state is not applicable to the power supply, slot, or WWN FRUs. 1. Establish a Telnet connection with a switch. 2. Log in using administrative privileges. 3. Enter the fwFruCfg command at the command prompt. The fwFruCfg command displays your current FRU configuration. The types of FRUs are different for the various platforms. 84 53-1002752-01 Fabric Watch Administrator's Guide
