SAN Diagnostic Logs
IIAS diagnoses the SFPs which are detected to be degrading or failing. The HP IIAS monitors
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.
•
Diagnostic happens only when the I/O (Input or output) operation occurs on the SFP or if SFP
is in failed state.
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.
