Fabric OS Message Reference 405

FW-1445
45
FW-1445
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1445], <sequence-number>,, INFO, <system-name>, Four power
supplies are now required for 2X redundancy, Switch Status Policy values changed.
Probable Cause Indicates that the switch now requires four power supplies and previous Switch Status Policy
parameters will be overwritten to reflect this. The presence of an AP blade means that more than
one power supply may be required to provide adequate power. So (even if the AP blade is powered
down or removed) the Switch Status policy values will now reflect the need for four power supplies
to maintain full (2X) redundancy.
Recommended
Action
No action required, unless there are fewer than four power supplies active in the chassis. If there
are fewer than four, insert additional power supplies so that there are four active.
Severity INFO
FW-1446
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1446], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, Four power
supplies now required for 2X redundancy, not enforced by Fabric Watch due to
Switch Status Policy overridden by User.
Probable Cause Indicates that the switch now requires four power supplies for full (2X) redundancy, but the user
has previously overridden the Switch Status Policy values pertaining to number of power supplies.
So those values will not be automatically changed.
With no AP blades, the default values are 3 (out of service) indicating switch status is DOWN or 0
indicating no checking for switch status MARGINAL.
When an AP blade is or has been present, the default values are 2 (out of service) indicating switch
status is DOWN or 1 (out of service) indicating switch status is MARGINAL.
Recommended
Action
To maintain full (2X) redundancy and proper monitoring by Fabric Watch, four active power supplies
should be supplied and the default values associated with the presence of an AP blade should be
entered using the switchStatusPolicyset command.
Severity WARNING
FW-1447
Message <timestamp>, [FW-1447], <sequence-number>,, WARNING, <system-name>, Switch status
change contributing factor Core Blade: <Number Bad> Core blade failures (<Switch
State>).
Probable Cause Indicates that the switch is not in a healthy state. This occurred because the number of core blade
failures is greater than or equal to the policy set by the switchStatusPolicySet command.
Recommended
Action
Replace the faulty core blade.
Severity WARNING
