Switch monitoring 8 TABLE 28 Monitor Switch status policy factors Health factors Marginal Ports1 Faulty Ports1 Missing SFPs1 Port, E_Port, FOP_port (optical), and FCU_Port (copper) port thresholds. Whenever these thresholds are persistently high, the port is Marginal. Hardware-related port faults. Ports that are missing SFP media. Error Ports1 Ports with errors. 1Marginal ports, faulty ports, error ports, and missing SFPs are calculated as a percentage of the physical ports (excluding FCoE and VE_Ports). Implementing your switch status policy After you plan and define your switch status policy, implement it using the following procedure. 1. Enter the switchStatusPolicySet command to configure each policy. Each policy has two parameters that can be configured: Marginal and Down. 2. Set the number of units Marginal or Down based on your system requirements for each policy or parameter. The following example shows a switch status policy for temperature: Bad Temperatures contributing to DOWN status: (0..10) [0] 3 Bad Temperatures contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..10) [0] 1 The following example shows a switch status policy for fans: Bad Fans contributing to DOWN status: (0..3) [0] 2 Bad Fans contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..3) [0] 1 Switch status policies are saved in a nonvolatile memory, and therefore are persistent until changed. Viewing your switch status policy After you have defined and configured your switch status policy, view it with the switchStatusPolicyShow command. The switchStatusPolicyShow command displays the following policy parameters that determine the overall switch status. NOTE FCoE and VE ports are not considered in marginal port or faulty port calculations. • Power Supplies-The power supply thresholds detect absent or failed power supplies. • Temperature-Temperature thresholds detect faulty temperature sensors. • Fan-Fan thresholds detect faulty fans. • Flash-Flash thresholds monitor flash memory. • Marginal Ports-Ports that move into the marginal state for reasons such as insufficient buffer credits. • Port Persistence Time-Fabric Watch waits for the port persistence time duration before it declares the port to be in MARGINAL state when it crosses the high threshold. • Faulty Ports-Ports that are faulty because of hardware faults, such as invalid SFPs.
