Learn how to configure the FC-to-SAS bridges for health monitoring.
-
Third-party SNMP monitoring tools are not supported for FibreBridge bridges.
-
Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, FC-to-SAS bridges are monitored via in-band connections by default, and additional configuration is not required.
|
Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, the storage bridge command is replaced with system bridge. The following steps show the storage bridge command, but if you are running ONTAP 9.8 or later, the system bridge command is preferred.

From the ONTAP cluster prompt, add the bridge to health monitoring:
-
Add the bridge, using the command for your version of ONTAP:
ONTAP version
Command
9.5 and later
storage bridge add -address 0.0.0.0 -managed-by in-band -name bridge-name9.4 and earlier
storage bridge add -address bridge-ip-address -name bridge-name -
Verify that the bridge has been added and is properly configured:
storage bridge showIt might take as long as 15 minutes to reflect all data because of the polling interval. The ONTAP health monitor can contact and monitor the bridge if the value in the "Status" column is "ok", and other information, such as the worldwide name (WWN), is displayed.
The following example shows that the FC-to-SAS bridges are configured:
