What does this Brocade SAN switch automated troubleshooting script do?
- Ping the SAN switch IPs and check the connectivity
- Perform basic health check by running switchstatusshow command
- Check for CRC and EncOut errors by running porterrshow command
- If there are CRC and EncOut errors it clears the port statistics and wait for 20 minutes to monitor the incremental errors on the switch ports using portstatsclear and portshow commands
- Check and compare Lr_in & Ols_Out and Lr_out and Ols_in values to detect faulty cable and SFP issue
- Generate supportsave files which is required to do further analysis or troubleshooting by switch vendor and FTP the files
- Capture all the above output to file and generate email alert to further engage an engineer to continue troubleshooting or log a case with switch vendor
I hope this would help us in proactively monitoring SAN switches and iron out false positives without human intervention.
