Configuring alarms for FRUs
Configuration for the FRU class is different than configuration for the other classes. Because FRUs are not
monitored through a threshold-based system, they have a simpler interface for configuration. For FRUs,
you configure the states for which an event occurs, as described in the following procedure.
1. Launch the Fabric Watch module as described on page 122.
2. Click the Threshold Configuration tab.
3. Click the FRU class from the Fabric Watch navigation tree.
4. Select a FRU type from the Area Selection menu in the Threshold Configuration tab.
5. Click the alarm states for which you want an event to register.
Whenever a FRU of the selected type is detected to be in one of the selected states, an event occurs.
6. Click the methods by which you want to be notified about the FRU alarms.
For FRUs, the only options are error log and e-mail alert.
7. Click Apply to apply the changes to the switch.
A confirmation dialog box opens, asking whether you want to apply the changes to the switch.
8. Click OK in the confirmation dialog box to save the changes to the switch.
Displaying Fabric Watch alarm information
From the Fabric Watch module, you can view two types of reports:
• Alarm notifications, which displays the alarms that have occurred for a selected class/area
• Alarm configuration, which displays threshold and alarm configurations for a selected class/area

Use the Threshold Configuration tab, Configuration Report subtab to display a report of the configuration
for a selected class/area. The following information is displayed:
