The portLogDump command output (trace) is a powerful tool that is used to troubleshoot fabric issues. The portLogDump output provides detailed information about the actions and communications within a fabric. By understanding the processes that are taking place in the fabric, issues can be identified and located. The portLogDump command displays the port log, showing a portion of the Fibre Channel payload and header (FC-PH). The header contains control and addressing information associated with the frame. The payload contains the information being transported by the frame and is determined by the higher-level service or FC_4 upper level protocol. There are many different payload formats based on the protocol.

on Windows operating systems, but needs to be installed on Windows.
portLogDump
Display port logs for all or particular ports, without page breaks.
portLogEnable
Enable port logs for all or particular ports.
portLogShow
