Configuring asset polling

NOTE

Asset polling is only applicable for Fabric OS DCB products discovered from the IP tab.

Asset polling allows you set the length of time between state change polling. To maximize the efficiency of the polling feature (balance the amount of possible information with any possible performance impact), base your settings on the size of the SAN.

To configure asset polling, complete the following steps.

1.Select Server > Options.

The Options dialog box displays.

2.Select Memory Allocation in the Category list to set the memory allocation for the server and client.

The Memory Allocation pane displays (Figure 68).

3.Enter how often you want to check for state changes in the Check for state change every field.

Valid values are from 1 through 600 seconds. You cannot enter a value lower than the default minimum value.

Default minimum values are as follows:

•Small (Professional): 60 seconds

•Medium: 120 seconds

•Large: 180 seconds

4.Enter how often you want to check for state changes in the If no state change, Poll switch every field.

Valid values are from 1 through 3,600 seconds. Default values are as follows:

•Small (Professional): 120 seconds

•Medium: 900 seconds
