Deployment Guide

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 or PuTTY connection to the 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.
4. In the prompt that follows your current FRU configuration, you are asked to provide values for each
FRU alarm state and alarm action. To accept the default value for each FRU, press Return.
After you have configured a FRU alarm state and alarm action, the values apply to all FRUs of that
type. For example, the values specified for a slot FRU will apply to all slots in the enclosure.

Specifying triggers for FRU alarms
You can specify triggers for any number of alarm states or alarm actions. The first prompt enables you
to select which FRU states trigger events.
1. Add the numbers beside each state (for the states you want to include).
2. Enter the total at the prompt.
For example, to trigger events using the Absent, Off, and Faulty states, add the assigned values
and enter that value at the prompt. In this case, the values are 1, 8, and 16, respectively, and the
total is 25.
