FRU monitoring

• Missing SFPs—Monitors the number of ports without SFPs.
• Error Ports—Ports that are disabled because of segmentation, an authentication failure, port
fencing, or bottleneck detection.
The policy you defined determines the output in the Switch Status Policy Report.
See Chapter 10, “Fabric Watch Reports,” for more details about the Switch Status Policy Report.
FRU monitoring
Supported FRU areas depend on the type of Brocade switch. For the following switches, the slot
and WWN areas are not supported:
• Brocade 300, 5100, and 5300 switches
• Brocade DCX and DCX-4S Data Center Backbone
• Brocade Encryption Switch
FRU class areas
Table 29 lists Fabric Watch areas in the FRU class and describes each area. Possible states for all
FRU-class areas are absent or removed, faulty, inserted, on, off, ready, and up. Configure the FRU
class using the fwFruCfg command
Configuring FRUs
The configuration of field-replaceable units (FRUs) is an exception to the procedures described
thus far in this chapter. FRUs are monitored using state values, as opposed to the quantitative
values used to monitor the rest of the fabric. As a result of the qualitative nature of this monitoring,
the concept of thresholds does not apply.
NOTE
The Off state is applicable only to fans on some platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and Brocade
DCX-4S. The Off state is not applicable to the power supply, slot, or WWN FRUs.
1. Establish a Telnet connection with a switch.
2. Log in using administrative privileges.
3. Enter the fwFruCfg command at the command prompt.
The fwFruCfg command displays your current FRU configuration. The types of FRUs are
different for the various platforms.
