CLI threshold alerts, Mihpto value | HP AARTDZHTE/958000284008

The feature conﬁgures a switch or director so that no frame data is stored after a power off. Without Full Volatility, if the switch or director experiences a fault condition, a dump of the embedded memory space is captured into nonvolatile memory. This dump retains the last 30 frames transmitted from and last four frames transmitted to the embedded port. With Full Volatility installed, this dump does not occur when a fault condition occurs.

Although this limits the amount of diagnostic information available for potential problem resolution, the vast majority of problems are typically resolved without the dump ﬁles.

Contact your sales representative to purchase a feature key for Full Volatility.

CLI threshold alerts

With ﬁrmware 06.00.00 and later, the CLI allows you to set and monitor Throughput Threshold Alerts (TTAs).

CLI show.eventLog command

With ﬁrmware 06.00.00 and later, the CLI show.eventLog command has been enhanced. The command now displays a Link Incident log and Event log.

MIHPTO value

With ﬁrmware 06.00.00 and later, the internal Missing Interrupt Handler Primary Time Out (MIHPTO) value has been changed from 15 seconds to 3 minutes.

EWS enhancements

With ﬁrmware 06.00.00 and later, EWS enhancements include support for managing the SANtegrity Binding feature and Enterprise Fabric mode, and providing the Link Incident log and the Open Trunking log.

Preferred Path support

With ﬁrmware 07.00.00 and later, this allows users who are not using HAFM to conﬁgure preferred data paths through the EWS interface. A preferred path is an ISL data path between multiple fabric elements (directors and switches) that users can conﬁgure using the source and exit ports of the origination fabric element, and the domain ID of the destination fabric element.

Conﬁguration Backup

With ﬁrmware 07.00.00 and later, this allows users to save switch conﬁguration settings to a standard XML format ﬁle, compatible with both HAFM and the Conﬁguration Backup and Restore (CBR) utility. Customers can easily save conﬁguration settings when switch conﬁguration is accidentally modiﬁed or at hardware failure. A restore function is not yet available in EWS, but is planned for a future release. In the interim, you can use the complimentary CBR utility to restore conﬁgurations settings.
