Special Procedures

Fibre Channel Switch Monitor

Changing the FC Switch Monitoring Configuration

To change the FC switch monitoring configuration compete the following steps:

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 35.

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.

Configuration Files

Startup Configuration File

File name: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_fc_sw.sapcfg

Default Entries: The monitor uses the standard default monitor request entries shown in Table on page 95.

Monitor Configuration File

File name: /var/stm/config/tools/monitor/dm_fc_sw.cfg

Default settings:

•Polling Interval: 60 minutes

•Repeat Frequency: 1 day (1440 minutes)

•Severity Action: Notify for all levels

The switch monitor also uses the following settings to configure the SNMP environment used by the switch. Note that two of these settings (SW_COUNT and SW_X_IP_ADDRESS) are required to indicate to the monitor
