Threshold values
2
In-between buffer values
The below high threshold is the term used to configure “in between” buffer values, as shown in
Figure 1. In this example, the high threshold value is 5 and the buffer value is 1. Therefore, the
“in-between” boundary value is 4. Enter the portThConfig command using the following
parameters.
portthconfig --set port -area crc -highth -value 5 -trigger below -action raslog
-buffer 1

Audit and RASlog messages
Fabric Watch generates an Audit message along with a RASlog message when the current
threshold exceeds the high threshold limit configured for the following thresholds:
• SCSI reservation
• Class 3 discards (C3TX_0)
• Switch memory usage
