switchStatusPolicySet

Sets the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.

SYNOPSIS

switchstatuspolicyset

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to set policy parameters for calculating the overall status of the switch. The policy
parameter values determine how many failed or faulty units of each contributor are allowed before
triggering a status change in the switch from HEALTHY to MARGINAL or DOWN.

For some components, a single contributor can force the overall status of the switch to MARGINAL or
DOWN. For example, assuming that the switch contributor values are set to the default values, the
presence of one faulty fan in a Brocade 6510 would set the overall switch status to MARGINAL. Two
faulty fans would set the overall switch status to DOWN.

This command runs interactively and prompts you to accept or change the default value for each
supported contributor. The unit for thresholds (both default and user-defined) of MarginalPorts,
FaultyPorts, ErrorPorts, and MissingSFPs are calculated as a percentage of the current number of
physical ports present in the switch at any given moment. For example, the input value of 25.00 indicates
25% of all physical ports. VE_Ports and FCoE Ports are excluded from the calculation. The percentage
supports decimal values of up to two decimal points.

The following component thresholds are configurable. Components and value ranges are
platform-dependent:

PowerSupplies

Absent or failed power supplies, and power supplies that are not in the correct slot
for redundancy.

Temperatures

Number of units with out-of-range temperature settings or faulty temperature
sensors.

Fans

Number of faulty fans.

WWN

Number of faulty WWN cards.

CP

Number of Control Processors down.

Blade

Number of faulty Blades.

CoreBlade

Number of faulty core blades.

Flash

Out of range flash memory.

MarginalPorts

Percentage of ports exceeding configured Fabric Watch thresholds.

FaultyPorts

Percentage of ports with hardware-related port faults.

MissingSFPs

Percentage of ports with missing SFPs (small form-factor pluggables) or SFPs
installed but not cabled.
