MAPS monitoring categories
3
• Security Violations
• Fabric State Changes
• Switch Resource
• Traffic Performance
• FCIP Health
The MAPS dashboard also displays the status of these categories. Refer to “MAPS dashboard
overview” on page 39 for information on using the MAPS dashboard.
Switch Policy Status
The Switch Policy Status category enables you monitor the health of the switch by defining the
number of types of errors that transitions the overall switch state into a state that is not healthy.
For example, you can specify a switch policy so that if a switch has two port failures, it is considered
to be in a marginal state; if it has four failures, it is in a critical (down) state. Table 4 lists the
monitored parameters in this category and identifies the factors that affect their health. You should
be aware that not all switches support the listed monitors.
Port Health
The Port Health category monitors port statistics and takes action based on the configured
thresholds and actions. You can configure thresholds per port type and apply the configuration to
all ports of the specified type. Configurable ports include physical ports, E_Ports, optical F_Ports
(FOP_Ports), copper F_Ports (FCU_Ports), and Virtual E_Ports (VE_Ports).
TABLE 4 Switch Policy Status category parameters
Monitored parameter Description
Power Supplies (BAD_PWR) Power supply thresholds detect absent or failed power supplies, and power
supplies that are not in the correct slot for redundancy.
Temperatures (BAD_TEMP) Temperature thresholds, faulty temperature sensors.
Fans (BAD_FAN) Fan thresholds, faulty fans.
Flash (FLASH_USAGE) Flash thresholds.
Marginal Ports
1
(MARG_PORTS)
1. Marginal ports, faulty ports, error ports, and missing SFP transceivers are calculated as a percentage of the
physical ports (excluding FCoE and VE_Ports).
Port, E_Port, FOP_Port (optical), and FCU_Port (copper) port thresholds.
Whenever these thresholds are persistently high, the port is marginal.
Faulty Ports
1
(FAULTY_PORTS) Hardware-related port faults.
Missing SFPs
1
(MISSING_SFP) Ports that are missing SFP media.
Error Ports
1
(ERR_PORTS) Ports with errors.
WWN (WWN_DOWN) Faulty WWN card (applies to modular switches).
Core Blade (DOWN_CORE) Faulty core blades (applies to modular switches).
Faulty blades (FAULTY_BLADE) Faulty blades (applies to modular switches).
High Availability (HA_SYNC) Switch does not have a redundant CP (Applies to modular switches only.)
