Displaying Switch Test Status
You can display the test status while the test is in progress by entering the
Test Status Switch command as shown in the following example:
SANbox (admin) #> test status switch
Blade Test Test Loop Test
ID Type Status Count Failures
----- ---- ------ ----- --------
IO0 Offline internal StoppedOnError 12 2
IO1 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
IO2 Offline internal Passed 4 0
IO3 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
IO4 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
IO5 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
IO6 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
IO7 Offline internal StoppedOnError 12 2
CPU0 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
CPU1 Offline internal NeverRun 1 0
Canceling a Switch Test
To cancel a switch test that is in progress, enter the Test Cancel Switch command.
Verifying and Tracing Fibre Channel Connections
You can verify Fibre Channel connections between the switch and the fabric and
display routing information. Enter the Fcping command to verify a Fibre Channel
connection to a switch or a device as shown in the following example. The target
device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a WWN.
SANbox #> fcping 970400 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 10 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 11 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 119 usec
The following is an example of a connection failure:
SANbox #> fcping 0x113344 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed
NOTE:
The Fcping and Fctrace commands require the SANdoctor license key. To
purchase a license key, contact your authorized maintenance provider or
authorized reseller.
