About Fabric Watch
The Fabric Watch icon only appears when a Fabric Watch license is installed on
the switch. Use the Fabric Watch Software to monitor fabric elements for potential
problem conditions through Alarms and setting the desired thresholds for various
conditions.
For more detailed information regarding Fabric Watch, see the HP StorageWorks
Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
Navigation Tree The Fabric Watch software contains a Navigation tree on
the left side of the screen (see “
Alarm Notification Tab of
Fabric Watch ” on page 174). Use the navigation tree to
select the class. This changes the options available in the
area to the right.
Threshold A threshold is a value or range of values to which Fabric
Watch computes a behavior counter to determine if the
behavior value is correct or warrants alarm.
Boundaries Boundaries are the characteristics that define a threshold.
Boundaries are area-based; when you configure a
boundary, that boundary applies to every element in an
area.
