Cluster Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) AutoSupport message

Issue

Cluster Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) AutoSupport message was triggered by a cluster switch condition.
Active alerts can be displayed by running the command: system health alert show -monitor cluster-switch.

Cause

Monitoring the health of your system

Health monitors proactively monitor certain critical conditions in your cluster and raise alerts if they detect a fault or risk.
If there are active alerts, the system health status reports a degraded status for the cluster.
The alerts include the information that you need to respond to degraded system health.

Solution

Identify the alert id by running the command: system health alert show -monitor cluster-switch -instance

Example

::> system health alert show -monitor cluster-switch -instance

Node: node1

Alert ID:UnsupportedSwitch_Alert

Severity: Major

Indication Time: Wed Feb 25 21:27:48 2015

Suppress: false

Acknowledge: false

Possible Effect: Communication problems and cluster connectivity issues occur. Corrective Actions: Unsupported cluster switch "switch_device_name" found. Connect a supported cluster switch to cluster network.

Follow this guide to help you locate the proper solution to your question or issue related to a Cluster Health Monitor Process (CSHM) Alert.
