Configuring Alarms for FRUs

Configuration for the FRU class is different than configuration for the other classes. Because FRUs are
not monitored through a threshold-based system, they have a simpler interface for configuration. For
FRUs, you configure the states for which an event occurs, as described in the following procedure.
To configure alarms for FRUs
1. Launch the Fabric Watch module as described on
2. Click the Threshold Configuration tab.
3. Click the FRU class from the Fabric Watch navigation tree.
4. Select a FRU type from the Area Selection menu in the Threshold Configuration tab.
5. Click the alarm states for which you want an event to register. Whenever a FRU of the selected type
is detected to be in one of the selected states, an event will occur.
6. Click the methods by which you want to be notified about the FRU alarms. For FRUs, the only
options are error log and email alert.
7. Click Apply to apply the changes to the switch.
A confirmation dialog box displays, asking if you want to apply the changes to the switch.
8. Click OK in the confirmation dialog box to save the changes to the switch.
