Switch Availability Monitor report
The Switch Availability Monitor (SAM) report lets you see the uptime and downtime for each port. It
also enables you to check if a particular port is failing more often than the others.
NOTE
SAM report details do not display the health status of GbE ports. Fabric Watch only monitors and
reports the status for physical and virtual FC ports.
You can run reporting commands in Fabric Watch to get instant access to switch information. Although
the switchShow command provides basic switch information, the Fabric Watch reports provide
detailed information, which enables you to track marginal or faulty ports that can affect throughput or
switch performance.
You can generate reports from the command line using a Telnet session or by using Web Tools. The
examples provided here use the command line interface.
Generating a Switch Availability Monitor report
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the fwSamShow command to generate a SAM report.
The following is an example of a SAM report.
