Creating A Frame Monitor; Deleting Frame Types; Table 75 Predefined Values At Offset 0 - HP StoreFabric SN6500B Administrator's Manual

The value of the offset must be between 0 and 63, in decimal format. Byte 0 indicates the first byte
of the Start of Frame (SOF), byte 4 is the first byte of the frame header, and byte 28 is the first byte
of the payload. Thus, only the SOF, frame header, and first 36 bytes of payload can be selected as
part of a filter definition. Offset 0 is a special case, which can be used to monitor the first 4 bytes of
the frame (SOF). When the offset is set to 0, the values 0 through 7 that are checked against that
offset are predefined, as shown in

Creating a frame monitor

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor --create command to create a user-defined frame.
Complete details of the fmMonitor command parameters are provided in the Fabric OS Command
Reference. The highth and action options set values and actions for Fabric Watch, but do not apply
to monitoring. To apply the custom values, use the thconfig --apply command. Refer to the Fabric
Watch Administrator's Guide for more information about using this command.

Deleting frame types

Deleting a frame type removes the entire configuration, including configured thresholds and
associated actions. It also removes any frame monitors of the specified type from all ports.
You can delete only user-defined frame types; you cannot delete the predefined frame types.
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor --delete command to delete a specific frame type.
