Configuring FRUs

Step 3: View your switch status policy
After defining and configuring your switch status policy, you can view them using the
switchStatusPolicyShow command. Note that the policy you defined here determines the output in
the Switch Status Policy Report.
See Chapter 4, “Generating Fabric Watch Reports” for more details about the Switch Status Policy
Report.
Configuring FRUs
The configuration of 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.
To configure 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, as shown in Figure 22. The types
of FRUs are different for the various platforms. 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 (as shown in Figure 22), 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.
