Closed as program error.
Error description
When adding Cisco switches or fabrics to TPC, informational messages are presented that look like there is a problem with performance monitoring for some switches. These messages indicate that performance monitoring is not available for virtual switches because no agent is available. Performance monitoring is not ever configured against the virtual switches. It is only applicable to the physical switches and the messages should not be presented to the user. They are confusing and the user thinks that something is not available. HWNPM0281I Performance monitoring is unavailabile for resource <switch name> (<wwn>) because an agent for monitoring the resource was not defined.
Local fix
Ignore message. Virtual switches are not expected to be available for performance monitoring.
