HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.X Administrator Guide (AA-RVHWB-TE, September 2005)

36 Performing basic configuration tasks
• Configuration file change from task
• TC feature on
• TC feature off
An SNMP-TRAP mode can also be enabled; see the trackChangesHelp command in the HP
StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x command reference guide.
For troubleshooting information on the TC feature, see ”Inaccurate information in the system message log”
on page 161.
Enabling the TC feature
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the trackChangesSet 1 command to enable the TC feature:
A message is displayed, verifying that the TC feature is on:
switch:admin> trackchangesset 1
Committing configuration...done.
switch:admin>
The output from the TC feature is dumped to the system message log for the switch. Use the errDump or
errShow command to view the log.
Items in the system message log created from the TC feature are labeled TRCK:
2004/08/24-08:45:43, [TRCK-1001], 212,, INFO, ras007, Successful login by user
admin.
Displaying the status of the TC feature
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the trackChangesShow command.
The status of the TC feature is displayed as either on or off. The display tells whether the TC feature is
configured to send SNMP traps:
switch:admin> trackchangesshow
Track changes status: ON
Track changes generate SNMP-TRAP: NO
switch:admin>
Viewing the switch status policy threshold values
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the switchStatusPolicyShow command.
Whenever there is a switch change, an error message is logged and an SNMP connUnitStatusChange
trap is sent.
