Hi All,
I have a Brocade Switch whose status went down after two ports went faulty. But now i see the faulty ports are online(past 1 day) and there are no switch events but still the switch status is shown as down. Is there any way that i can refresh the switch status without a power cycle.

Temperatures monitor HEALTHY
Fans monitor HEALTHY
Flash monitor HEALTHY
Marginal ports monitor HEALTHY
Faulty ports monitor DOWN
Missing SFPs monitor HEALTHY

with the commands
"switchstatuspolicyshow"
and to set
"switchstatuspolicyset"
if you hare unsure, save first the output from show before change a policy.

Hi Tech,
Thanks for your reply. But I have already checked the output of 'SwitchStatusPolicyShow' for which the number of faulty ports that contributes to 'Switch Down' status is 1. But i would like to know if even after the faulty port becomes normal will the switch status remain as down. If so how to make it as healthy. Is there any other way other than to changing the 'SwitchStatusPolicy' where the switch will refresh its health status.

Hi
I'd the same problem with one of our director class switch and the problem was fixed by a switch reboot. I know that a switch reboot is disruptive but you could use the following hidden command "hareboot". This command will failover to the other CP and reboot the CP, This will bring you Faulty Port Monitor process healthy.
hareboot is the same command use during the firmware upgrade process. There is also the reboot command use with the -f operand that will failover to the standby CP and reboot the initial active CP and this will not be disruptive to traffic. Not sure is this command is available prior 6.20 FOS.
hareboot or reboot -f
