cpqFcSwitchFibreConnectStatus

Module: CPQFCA-MIB

OID (symbolic): CPQFCA-MIB::cpqFcSwitchFibreConnectStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16.4.1.1.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Fibre Channel Switch Fibre Channel Connection Status.

The following values are defined:

other(1) The agent is unable to determine the status of the switch fibre channel connection.

ok(2) The switch Fibre Channel connection is OK.

offline(3) The switch Fibre Channel connection is offline.

What is cpqFcSwitchFibreConnectStatus?

This read-only enumerated value (other, ok, offline) reports the status of the switch's actual Fibre Channel connection, separate from its Ethernet management link. It tells an admin whether the storage-traffic path itself is functioning, which matters even when management access to the switch is fine. An offline(3) reading appearing during a backup window signals a SAN fabric outage that would explain failed backup jobs.

Examples
