Cannot define a performance monitor for a switch

This error occurs when trying to define a performance monitor for a switch.

Problem

You cannot define a performance monitor for a switch.

Action

If you cannot define a performance monitor for a switch because it does not appear in the list of switches that can be monitored, do the following:
  • Check to see that the SMI-S version supported by the switch vendor is 1.1 or higher.
  • Check to see if the CIM agent supports the switch sub-profile.
  • Check to see if the CIM agent discovery completed successfully.
  • Check to see if a fabric probe was run on the fabric that contains the switch after the CIM agent discovery completed successfully for that switch. Then verify that this fabric probe also completed successfully.
