SAN Diagnostic Logs
HP IIAS diagnoses the SFPs which are detected to be degrading or failing. HP IIAS monitors the
following five parameters of an SFP:
1. Transmit Power
2. Receive Power
3. Voltage
4. Current
5. Temperature
As part of diagnostics, above values (collected during data collection) are compared against the
threshold specification range. Threshold specification range varies based on vendor, model and
property being monitored. If the values collected are found outside the threshold range, HP IIAS
raises diagnostics events for such SFP. HP IIAS raises a separate diagnostics event for each
parameter.
NOTE:
•
For embedded Blade SAN Switch, only SFPs of external ports are monitored.
•
For FC switch, diagnostic happens only when the I/O (Input or output) operation occurs on
the SFP or if SFP is in failed state.
Table 9 Classification of Diagnostic events
Description Type
If the SFP parameter value is crossed, then a Critical event is raised by HP IIAS. This may
mean degrading or degraded/failed. This may result in connectivity loss. Critical
If the SFP monitored parameters are crossing the warning threshold limit, then a Warning
event is raised by HP IIAS. This may mean a degrading SFP or a degraded cable. This may
result in connectivity loss. Major
HP IIAS observes normal readings for SFP monitored parameters, then informational event is
raised by HP IIAS. Informational
Firmware prerequisites for SFP diagnostics
SFP monitoring and diagnostics requires:
•
A B-Series switch that has firmware version 7.x or later.
•
A H-Series switch that has firmware version 8.0.14.03.00 or 8.0.4.04.00 or higher.
•
A HP Branded 8/16Gb QLogic HBA with any firmware.
