When (2+2) power supply combination is used, HP recommends that users configure the Fabric Watch setting for switch
marginal state to be two power supplies. Users can use the CLI switchstatuspolicyset to configure this value if
the current value is set to zero. In Fabric OS 7.0.x, the default setting for the marginal state due to missing power supplies
is incorrectly set to zero, which prevents Fabric Watch from generating notifications when the switch enters the marginal
state due to missing power supplies.
