TECH NOTE: BROCADE DCFM CALL HOME CAPABILITY The Call Hme event ntificatin capability allws a user t cnfigure a Brcade Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM ) Enterprise Server t autmatically send an e-mail r dial int a supprt center t reprt system prblems. Custmers wh have a Brcade Direct Supprt maintenance cntract can enable event frwarding t the Brcade Technical Engagement Center (TEC) using the Call Hme feature. NOTE: In this paper, the term switch is used t refer t a Brcade switch, directr, r backbne platfrm. Minimum Sftware Versin Brcade DCFM 10.1.0 is the minimum sftware versins required t frward Fabric OS (FOS) and M-Enterprise OS (M-EOS) prduct ntificatins t the Brcade TEC using Call Hme. Hardware and Firmware Supprt Fr a list f the supprted B-Series (running Fabric OS) and M-Series (running M-EOS) prducts and supprted firmware levels, see the current Brcade DCFM Release Ntes. B-Series Switch Cnfiguratins Brcade supprts FOS events nly frm switches that are cnfigured fr the default switch status plicy. T view the current switch status plicy, issue the (CLI) switchstatusplicyshw cmmand. NOTE: T view the default values f the switchstatusplicyshw cmmand, see the Brcade Fabric OS Administratr s Guide r Brcade Fabric OS Cmmand Reference.

Cnfiguratin and Implementatin Custmers are respnsible fr cnfiguring, implementing, and testing their DCFM Call Hme slutin. Fllw these prcedures t successfully cnfigure and implement Call Hme. Fr future discvery f devices running FOS, cnfigure SNMP Trap Registratin and Frwarding: Brcade DCFM Mnitr/SNMP Traps/Management Server Check Aut register server as SNMP trap Recipient Cnfigure the SNMP Listening Prt, using the standard default f 162. Fr previusly discvered devices running FOS, cnfigure an SNMPv1 trap recipient: FOS Element Manager Switch Admin/Shw Advanced Mde/SNMP Trap Recipient s IP address: DCFM Server IP address Trap Recipient s Severity Level: 4 Trap Recipient Prt: use default f 162 In the FOS CLI, validate that each device is cnfigured fr the default switch status plicy: Cnfigure each device running M-EOS fr Call Hme Ntificatins: M-EOS Element Manager Maintenance, check Enable Call Hme Ntificatin. And the fllwing: Cnfigure the Call Hme Center that will be used t frward event ntificatins. Add switches frm the Prduct List t the Call Hme Center. Create a Call Hme Event Filter specific t devices running FOS and devices running M-EOS. In the Call Hme Center, add the Call Hme Event Filter t each device running FOS and t each device running M-EOS. NOTE: T cnfigure and set up Call Hme, see the Call Hme sectin in the Brcade Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise User Manual r the Brcade DCFM nline help. E-mail-Specific Infrmatin T cnfigure Brcade DCFM E-mail Call Hme, use the Brcade E-mail Call Hme Center prfile. T enable e-mail event frwarding t the Brcade TEC, use this address: callhmeemail@brcade.cm The custmer cntact infrmatin that accmpanies the e-mail is defined in the Custmer Details sectin f the Call Hme Center. The reply address in the E-mail Call Hme Center prfile must be the e-mail address f a registered Brcade Cnnect member. This allws the received event ntificatin t prpagate thrugh the Brcade autmated system, generate an acknwledgement f the event via an e-mail message t the reply address, and generate a Service Request. NOTE: T cnfigure and set up Call Hme using e-mail, see the Call Hme sectin in the Brcade Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise User Manual r the Brcade DCFM nline help.

E-mail Testing Custmers are respnsible fr testing that their Call Hme is prperly cnfigured and is being frwarded t Brcade. E-mail Test Example T send a test e-mail, select the Send Test buttn in the Call Hme Center prfile. (The test e-mail cntains a limited amunt f infrmatin cmpared t the e-mail that wuld be sent fr a real failure.) When the Brcade TEC receives a test e-mail a Service Request is pened, hwever it is then clsed withut cntacting the custmer, since they will have received an e-mail acknwledging the event. The fllwing is an example f an e-mail message generated using the Send Test utility: Brcade E-mail Call hme Event ntificatin Test E-mail Reprt Data Center Fabric Manager Versin : 10.1.0 Data Center Fabric Manager Server Address : 10.100.6.80 Date : Feb 9, 2008 12:23:49 PM CST Cntact Infrmatin Custmer Name : Brcade Cntact Name : Jhn De Phne 1 : 763.222.0000 Phne 2 : 763.222.0001 This message cnfirms that yur Brcade E-mail Call Hme event ntificatin setup is successful.

Mdem-Specific Infrmatin Cnfigure Brcade DCFM mdem Call Hme using the Brcade Internatinal r Brcade Nrth America Call Hme Center prfile. T enable mdem event frwarding t the Brcade TEC, use this phne number: 720-558-3912 The custmer cntact infrmatin that accmpanies the event ntificatin is cnfigured in different lcatins based n the type f device. The fllwing indicates where the custmer cntact infrmatin resides: FOS Element Manager Switch Admin/Shw Advanced Mde/SNMP In the Cntact Name field, include the custmer cntact name and phne number. M-EOS Element Manager Cnfigure/Operating Parameters/Identificatin In the Name field, include the custmer cntact name and phne number. An acknwledgement f receipt f a mdem Call Hme is nt autmated. When the event is received by the Brcade TEC, a Service Request is generated and a Brcade Supprt Engineer cntacts the custmer. NOTE: T cnfigure and set up Call Hme using a mdem, see the Call Hme sectin in the Brcade Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise User Manual r the Brcade DCFM nline help. Brcade DCFM Call Hme Page 4 f 6
Mdem Testing Custmers are respnsible fr cntacting the Brcade TEC t schedule a test t validate that their slutin is functinal. T successfully test Call Hme: Cntact the Brcade TEC by calling 1-800-752-8061 r sending an e-mail message t supprt@brcade.cm. Prvide the Brcade TEC the custmer name, cntact infrmatin, and s n. T send a test event, select Send Test in the Call Hme Center prfile. There is n autmated acknwledgment t the custmer that test event r actual event was received by the Brcade TEC: In the case f a test event, a Service Request cannt be created since the custmer is unknwn and there is n asset serial number. In the case f an actual event, a Service Request is generated and a Brcade Supprt Engineer will cntact the custmer.
