Configuring asset polling
NOTE
Asset polling is only applicable for Fabric OS DCB products discovered from the IP tab.
Asset polling allows you set the length of time between state change polling. To maximize the
efficiency of the polling feature (balance the amount of possible information with any possible
performance impact), base your settings on the size of the SAN.
To configure asset polling, complete the following steps.
1. Select Server > Options.
The Options dialog box displays.
2. Select Memory Allocation in the Category list to set the memory allocation for the server and
client.
The Memory Allocation pane displays.
3. Enter how often you want to check for state changes in the Check for state change every field.
Valid values are from 1 through 600 seconds. You cannot enter a value lower than the default
minimum value.
Default minimum values are as follows:
• Small (Professional): 60 seconds
• Medium: 120 seconds
• Large: 180 seconds
4. Enter how often you want to check for state changes in the If no state change, Poll switch every
field.
Valid values are from 1 through 3,600 seconds. Default values are as follows:
• Small (Professional): 120 seconds
• Medium: 900 seconds
• Large: 1800 seconds
5. Click Apply or OK to save your work.
NOTE
Changes to this option take effect after an application restart.
NOTE
You can only restart the server using the Server Management Console (Start > Programs >
Management_Application_Name 12.X.X > Server Management Console).
6. Click OK on the “changes take effect after application restart” message.
