83Fabric OS 5.0.0 Fabric Watch user guide
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. The following is an
example of a switch health report.
Example: Switch health report
The final portion of the report, detailing port health, is not available without a Fabric Watch
license.
Switch status policy report
The switch status policy report lets you see the current policy parameters. Run the
switchStatusPolicyShow command to generate a switch status policy report.
The following is an example of the switchStatusPolicyShow command for nonmodular
switches such as the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16V, SAN Switch 2/16N, SAN
Switch 2/32 and SAN Switch 4/32.
For modular switches such as the HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 and HP StorageWorks
SAN Director 2/128, the switch status policy report also contains information on the WWN,
Blade, and CP.
