FRU monitoring

FRU class areas
Table 29 lists Fabric Watch areas in the FRU class and describes each area. Possible states for all
FRU-class areas are absent or removed, faulty, inserted, on, off, ready, and up. Configure the FRU
class using the fwFruCfg command
Configuring FRUs
The configuration of field-replaceable units (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.
NOTE
The Off state is applicable only to fans on some platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and Brocade
DCX-4S. The Off state is not applicable to the power supply, slot, or WWN 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. The types of FRUs are
different for the various platforms.
4. 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, 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.
