Configuring alarms for FRUs using Web Tools
Configuration for the FRU class is different from configuration for the other classes. Because FRUs are
not monitored through a threshold-based system, they have a simpler interface for configuration.
For FRUs, you configure the states for which an event occurs, using the following procedure.
1. Open the Fabric Watch window.
2. Select the Threshold Configuration tab.
3. In the Fabric Watch Explorer pane, select a FRU class.
4. Under Area Selection, select a FRU type from the list.
5. Select the alarm states for which you want an event to register.
If a FRU of the selected type is determined that it is one of the selected states, an event will occur.
6. Select the methods by which you want to be notified about the FRU alarms.
For FRUs, the only options are error log and e-mail alert.
7. Click Apply to apply the changes to the switch.
A confirmation dialog box displays, asking if you want to apply the changes to the switch.
8. Click OK to save the changes to the switch.
