Deleting frame types
Deleting a frame type removes the entire configuration, including configured thresholds and
associated actions. It also removes any frame monitors of the specified type from all ports.
You can delete only user-defined frame types; you cannot delete the pre-defined frame types.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the fmConfig --delete command to delete a specific frame type.
Example
switch:admin> fmconfig --delete MyFrameMonitor
Adding frame monitors to a port
If the switch does not have enough resources to add a frame monitor to a port, then other frame
monitors on that port might have to be deleted to free resources.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the fmConfig --addmonitor command to add a frame monitor to one or more ports.
The set of ports to be monitored is automatically saved to the persistent configuration unless
you specify the -nosave option on this command.
3.
Example
This example adds a standard SCSI frame type monitor to ports 3 through 12.
switch:admin> fmconfig --addmonitor SCSI -port 3-12
Removing frame monitors from a port
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the fmConfig --delmonitor command to remove a specific monitor from one or more
ports.
The set of ports to be unmonitored is automatically saved to the persistent configuration
unless you specify the -nosave option on this command.
Example
The following example removes the user-defined frame monitor, MyFrameMonitor, from all ports.
switch:admin> fmconfig --delmonitor MyFrameMonitor
Saving frame monitor configuration
If you assign or remove frame monitors on ports, the list of ports to be monitored is automatically
saved persistently, unless you specify the -nosave option.
