Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/2454

Configure and enable Ethernet events

Perform this procedure to configure and enable Ethernet events. An Ethernet event is recorded (after

a user-specified time interval) when the switch-to-HAFM appliance communication link drops. To

configure and enable Ethernet events:

1. Minimize the Hardware View and return to the HAFM application.

2. At the HAFM or EWS main window, select the Monitor > Ethernet Event. The Configure Ethernet

Events dialog box is displayed (Figure 24).

3. Click the Enable Ethernet Event check box. A check mark is displayed in the check box to

indicate Ethernet events are enabled.

4. Enter a value from 10 through 120 minutes in the Ethernet Timeout field.

5. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Configure call home event notification

Telephone numbers and other information for the call-home feature are configured through the

Windows dial-up networking application. To learn more about configuring call-home features, refer

to the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager Appliance installation guide.

Configure threshold alerts

A threshold alert notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified

values for specific switch ports or port types, (E_Ports or F_Ports).

You are notified of a threshold alert in four ways:

• A yellow triangle that is displayed on the port in the Port Card View.

• A yellow triangle that is displayed on the port in the Hardware View.

• A yellow triangle that is displayed in the Alert column of the Port List View.

• A yellow triangle that is displayed by the Threshold Alerts field in the Port Properties dialog box.

• Detailed threshold alert data recorded in the Threshold Alert Log.

Use the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu to configure the following:

• Name for the alert.

• Type of threshold for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).

• Active or inactive state of the alert.
