Configuring FC-to-SAS bridges for health monitoring

You must perform some special configuration steps to monitor the FC-to-SAS bridges in the MetroCluster configuration.

1. Configure the FC-to-SAS bridges for monitoring by issuing the following command for each bridge on each storage controller: storage bridge add -address ipaddress
   This command must be repeated for all FC-to-SAS bridges in the MetroCluster configuration.
   Example
   The following example shows the command you must use to add an FC-to-SAS bridge with an IP address of 10.10.20.10:

   controller_A_1::> storage bridge add -address 10.10.20.10

2. Verify that all FC-to-SAS bridges are properly configured: storage bridge show
   It might take as long as 15 minutes to reflect all data due to the polling interval.
   Example
   The following example shows that the FC-to-SAS bridges are configured:

   controller_A_1::> storage bridge show
   
   Bridge  Symbolic Name Vendor Model             Bridge WWN  Monitored Status
   ------- ------------- ------ ---------         ----------- --------- -------
   ATTO_1  atto6500n-1   Atto   FibreBridge 6500N wwn         true      ok
   ATTO_2  atto6500n-2   Atto   FibreBridge 6500N wwn         true      ok
   ATTO_3  atto6500n-3   Atto   FibreBridge 6500N wwn         true      ok
   ATTO_4  atto6500n-4   Atto   FibreBridge 6500N wwn         true      ok
   
    controller_A_1::>
   

   If the FC-to-SAS bridge's worldwide name (WWN) is shown, the Data ONTAP health monitor is able to contact and monitor the bridge.
