HP StorageWorks 2.128 SAN Director Switch - Manual (Page 37)

Fabric OS 5.x administrator guide 37
For the Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director: 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.
For more information about setting policy parameters, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x
administrator guide.
Setting the switch status policy threshold values
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
switchStatusPolicySet
command.
The current switch status policy parameter values are displayed first. You are then prompted to enter
values for each DOWN and MARGINAL threshold parameter:
3. Verify the threshold settings you have configured for each parameter by issuing the
switchStatusPolicyShow
command to view your current switch status policy configuration.
NOTE: By setting the DOWN and MARGINAL values for a parameter to
0,0
that parameter is no
longer used in setting the overall status for the switch.
