Not so sure about that.
I couldn't find any messages about the loss of our F400 on this vswitch
(but it could have happened some time ago).
q vswitch teevsw0
VSWITCH SYSTEM TEEVSW0 Type: VSWITCH Connected: 2 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF
VLAN Aware Default VLAN: 0755 Default Porttype: Access GVRP:
Enabled
Native VLAN: 0755 VLAN Counters: OFF
MAC address: 02-00-0E-00-00-01
State: Ready
IPTimeout: 5 QueueStorage: 8
RDEV: F600.P00 VDEV: F600 Controller: DTCVSW1
RDEV: F400.P00 VDEV: F400 Controller: DTCVSW2 BACKUP
It still shows as the backup when I know for a fact it is down (the
cisco viewpoint shows it down ).
I'd like to be able to monitor them from VM as well (that's what I
should have said - it does sound like the cisco side is aware) - so I
guess I have to look into the SNMP monitoring David suggested.

The system manages the Primary and backup connections and if either one
is lost a message ends up on the Operators Console.
I use the QUERY VSWITCH command to check the current Status like this
q vswitch
VSWITCH SYSTEM VMPNET Type: VSWITCH Connected: 1 Maxconn: INFINITE
PERSISTENT RESTRICTED NONROUTER Accounting: OFF
VLAN Unaware

How are folks monitoring their backup osa's on the vswitch? How do you
know they haven't lost connectivity and won't be there when you need it?
(asking because, well, yeah, that can happen :)
