System Monitoring For Fabric Adapters - Brocade Communications Systems FastIron Administration Manual

System monitoring for Fabric Adapters

Parameters
threshold
log-backoff
action
Modes Global configuration mode.
Usage Guidelines This command is supported only on FCX and ICX devices.
Examples
The following example configures system monitoring for fabric adaptor errors:
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error threshold 3 7
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error action syslog
Brocade(config)# sysmon link-error log-backoff 15
System monitoring for Fabric Adapters
On FSX devices, system monitoring for fabric adaptors monitor errors such as the following:
• End of Packet (EoP) or Start of Packet (SoP) errors
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors
• Packets dropped due to congestion
In addition to the error count, sysmon also checks for connectivity of FA links. This happens at the
interval defined by the sysmon-timer command generally or specifically for FA.
Use the following commands configure and display the status of system monitoring on fabric adaptors:
270
Defines the threshold for errors. The threshold is defined as N/W, where N is the number of
events, and W is the number of consecutive polling periods. When the threshold is reached,
actions configured for this event type will take place. Note that a threshold of 1/W implies
that there is no threshold, and the action will always be triggered.
events
Specifies the threshold in terms of the number of events. Valid values are 1 through
10.
polling-interval
Specifies the number of polling windows. The device polls the internal registers at the
interval specified by the sysmon timer value. Valid values 1-32. However, the polling
window number must be equal or greater than the number of events.
If an error condition persists, it will be continuously logged (internally and/or externally to
syslog as defined by the action). The log back-off count skips configured number of logs
before logging again.
Specifies the action to take when the error count exceeds the specified threshold and log
back-off values.
none
The error is logged in the internal sysmon logs. This is the default value.
syslog
The error is logged to syslog.
