Step 1. Determine the IP address for each switch you are adding or deleting.
Step 2. Open file /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_fc_sw.cfg in an ASCII text editor.
Step 3. Locate the following line in the file and change value "n" to reflect the new number of switches to be
monitored:
SW_COUNT n
Step 4. If you are adding a switch, add the following line to file:
SW_ X _IP_ADDRESS nn.nn.nnn.nnn
Change the placeholder "X" to the number you want assigned to the switch (typically the next
sequential number available), and replace the "nn" fields with the IP address of the switch.
The completed line will look similar to the following:
SW_5_IP_ADDRESS 15.43.214.191
Repeat this step for each switch you are adding.
Step 5. If you are removing a switch, locate the SW_X_IP_ADDRESS line for the switch to be removed and
delete it from the file. If you deleting multiple switches, delete the line for each one.
Step 6. Save the file.
Step 7. To invoke the changes immediately, run the Hardware Monitoring Request Manager and select the
(E)nable Monitoring option. This option runs the startup client, which will cause the changes to the
switch monitoring to take effect immediately. See "Enabling Hardware Event Monitoring" on
page 42.
Alternatively you can do nothing and the changes will be made at the next switch polling interval
when the monitor recognizes the changes and launches the startup client to invoke them.
