Monitoring Resources - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

To display the current broadcast configuration:
Log in to the FC router as admin.
1.
2. Issue the following command:
fcr:admin> fcrbcastconfig --show
This command displays only the FIDs that have the broadcast frame option disabled. The FIDs that are
not listed have the broadcast frame option enabled.
To enable broadcast frame forwarding:
1. Log in to the FC router as admin.
2. Issue the following command:
fcr:admin> fcrbcastconfig --enable -f fabricID
where fabricID is the FID of the edge or backbone fabric on which you want to enable broadcast frame
forwarding. Broadcast frame forwarding is enabled by default.
To disable broadcast frame forwarding:
1. Log in to the FC router as admin.
Issue the following command:
2.
fcr:admin> fcrbcastconfig --disable -f fabricID
where fabricID is the FID of the edge or backbone fabric on which you want to disable broadcast
frame forwarding.

Monitoring resources

It is possible to exhaust resources, such as proxy PIDs. Whenever a resource is exhausted, Fabric OS
generates an error message. The messages are described in the Fabric OS Message Reference.
You can monitor FC router resources using the fcrResourceShow command. The fcrResourceShow
command shows FCR resource limits and usage and includes:
• LSAN zones and LSAN devices—The information shows the maximum versus the currently used zones
and device database entry. LSAN is the count of LSANs in all the edge fabrics. If they are defined in
two edge fabrics, they are counted as two and not one. One device imported into multiple edge fabrics
counts multiple times.
In Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later, you can have 3,000 LSAN zones configurable up to a maximum of
5,000. On a dual CP switch, both CPs must have v5.3.0 code or later to select 5000. If the active CP
is running Fabric OS v5.3.0 or later with a maximum count of 5000 LSANs and the standby CP is
running an earlier firmware version, HA synchronization will fail. If 5000 is selected before
downgrading to an earlier version of Fabric OS, you will be asked to go back to the default maximum
LSAN count of 3000.
• Proxy Device Slots—The physical and proxy devices use the 10000 device slots.
The information shows the maximum pool size for translate phantom node and port WWNs and shows
the number of translate node and port WWNs from this pool.
• Phantom Node WWN
Phantom Port WWNs
•
• Max proxy devices
• Max NR_Port
