Setting switch features

See the Fabric OS 7.0.x Administrator's Guide and the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference
Manual for detailed instructions on setting all supported switch features.

Switch status policy

Switch status policy is a feature that monitors different switch parameters such as power supplies
and fan units, and provides switch status based on their health.
The switch status policy configuration can be updated using the switchstatuspolicyset
command. The following example shows the default settings of 2 and 0 for DOWN and MARGINAL
units for both Bad Power Supplies and Bad Fans.
switch:admin>switchstatuspolicyset
some output skipped
The minimum number of
Bad PowerSupplies contributing to DOWN status: (0..2) [2]
Bad PowerSupplies contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..2) [0]
some output skipped
Bad Fans contributing to DOWN status: (0..2) [2]
Bad Fans contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..2) [0]
output truncated
If two power supply and fan assemblies are installed in the switch, HP recommends changing the
configuration to 2 and 1 for DOWN and MARGINAL for both the Bad Power Supplies and Bad Fans.
Use the switchStatusPolicyShow command to see the results of your changes.

Changing the switch name and chassis name

Changing the switch and chassis names is important for accurate tracking of errors in the RASlog.
The messages in the log are labeled with the switch or chassis name, so choose a meaningful
name for the switch and chassis.
1. Using Telnet, log in to the switch as admin.
2. Use the chassisname command to change the chassis name. The following example shows
how to change the chassis name to myhpchassis:
switch:admin> chassisname myhpchassis
switch:admin> chassisname
myhpchassis
3. Use the switchname command to change the switch name. The following example shows
how to change the switch name to myhpswitch:
switch:admin> switchname myhpswitch
switch:admin> switchname
myhpswitch
