Switch Status monitoring category

The Switch Status category enables you to monitor the health of the switch by defining the number
of types of errors that transitions the overall switch state into a state that is not healthy. For
example, you can specify a switch policy so that if a switch has two port failures, it is considered to
be in a marginal state; if it has four failures, it is in a down state.

Table 177

lists the current overall Switch Status category parameters in a switch and identifies the

factors that affect their health. Note that not all switches use the listed monitors.

TABLE 177

Switch status measures

Measure

Description

Power Supplies (BAD_PWR)

Power supply thresholds detect absent or failed power supplies, and power
supplies that are not in the correct slot for redundancy.

Temperatures (BAD_TEMP)

Temperature thresholds, faulty temperature sensors.

Fans (BAD_FAN)

Fan thresholds, faulty fans.

WWN (WWN_DOWN)

Faulty WWN card (applies to modular switches).

HA out of sync (HA_SYNC)

High availability (HA) state of the active CP is out of synchronization with the HA
state of the standby CP.

Blades (FAULTY_BLADE)

Faulty blades (applies to modular switches).

Core Blade (DOWN_CORE)

Faulty core blades.

Flash (FLASH_USAGE)

Flash thresholds.

Marginal Ports

1

(MARG_PORTS) Physical port, E_Port, FOP_port (optical), and FCU_Port (copper) port

thresholds. Whenever these thresholds are persistently high, the port is
Marginal.

Faulty Ports

1

(FAULTY_PORTS)

Hardware-related port faults.
