Deployment Guide

• Current health of each port, based on the currently configured policy settings.
• High-level state of the switch, the power supplies, and temperature monitor.
• All ports that are in an abnormal state and the current health state of each port.
The switch health report is available even without Fabric Watch, but for licensed Fabric Watch users,
the marginal and faulty ports are included in the report.
NOTE
Switch Health report details do not display the health status of GbE ports. Fabric Watch only monitors
and reports the status for physical and virtual FC ports.
