Switch Status Policies

For detailed information about setting policy parameters, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Fabric Watch Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
The policy parameter determines the number of failed or non-operational units for
each contributor that will trigger a status change in the switch.
Each parameter can be adjusted so that a specific threshold must be reached
before that parameter changes the overall status of a switch to MARGINAL or
DOWN. For example, if the FaultyPorts DOWN parameter is set to 3, the status of
the switch will change if 3 ports fail. Only one policy parameter needs to pass the
MARGINAL or DOWN threshold to change the overall status of the switch.
There are seven parameters that determine the status of a switch:
