HP Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem p-Class - Manual (Page 37)

Fabric OS 5.0.0 procedures user guide 37
For the Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128, the output is similar to the following:
The policy parameter determines the number of failed or inoperable units for each contributor that
triggers a status change in the switch.
Each parameter can be adjusted so that a specific threshold must be reached before that parameter
changes the overall status of a switch to
MARGINAL
or
DOWN
. For example, if the FaultyPorts DOWN
parameter is set to
3
, the status of the switch changes if 3 ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs to
pass the MARGINAL or DOWN threshold to change the overall status of the switch.
These parameters determine the status of a switch:
• Number of faulty ports
• Missing GBICs
• Power supply status
• Temperature in enclosure
• Fan speed
• Port status
• ISL status
For detailed information about setting policy parameters, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x
Fabric Watch user guide.
To set the switch status policy threshold values:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
switchstatuspolicyset
command.
First, the current switch status policy parameter values are displayed. Then, you are prompted to enter
values for each DOWN and MARGINAL threshold parameter:
3. Verify the threshold settings you have configured for each parameter.
4. Issue the
switchstatuspolicyshow
command to view your current switch status policy
configuration.
