Set the policy parameters that determine the overall switch status.

Description
Use this command to set the policy parameters for calculating the overall status of the switch
enclosure. The policy parameter values determine how many failed or faulty units of each
contributor are allowed before triggering a status change in the switch from HEALTHY to
MARGINAL or DOWN.
The command will print the current parameters in a three column table format. The first column
specifies the contributor; the second column specifies the minimum number that contributes to the
DOWN/FAILED status; the third column specifies the minimum number that contributes to the
MARGINAL/WARNING status. This command then prompts the user to change the values for
each policy parameter. The default values for the policy parameters are as follows:
Table 1-19 Contributor Value and Status
Contributor
FaultyPorts
MissingGBICs
PowerSupplies
Temperatures
Fans
PortStatus
sgroup ISLStatus
Any single contributor can force the overall status of the switch to MARGINAL or DOWN. For
example, assuming that the switch contributor values are set to the default values, if there is 1 faulty
port in a switch, then this contributor would set the overall switch status to MARGINAL. If 2 ports
were faulty, then this contributor would set the overall switch status to DOWN.
This command enables you to set a threshold for each contributor, so that a certain number of
failures are required to change the overall status of the switch.
If the value of a policy parameter is set to 0, it means that this factor is not used to determine the
status of the switch. If the range of values for a particular contributor are set to 0 for both
MARGINAL and DOWN, that contributor is not used in the calculation of the overall switch
status.
ISLStatus monitors ISLs that are part of a defined switch group. The status of other ISLs on the
same switch but outside of the group definition will not be considered when calculating switch
status. If no switch groups are defined on this switch, then these ISLStatus settings will have no
effect on switch status.
The sgroup ISLStatus does not affect the status of the switch as quickly as the other contributors. It
may take a few minutes for a switch group ISL status change to affect the state of the switch.
