backplanetest backplanetest Backplane connection test for multiple blade configured system. Synopsis backplanetest [-slot number][-passcnt count][-payload value][-pat type][-ports list][-verbose mode] Availability Admin Release V4.1.x Description Use this command to verify the function of the backplane connection of the blades through the backend external ports. This command is for the StorageWorks Core switch only. This command is not part of blade diagnostics; it is used to verify backplane connection by using the blade's frame transmitter/receiver features. When this test is run, no other diagnostic can be executed until this test completes. Options This command has the following operands: -slot number -passcnt count Specify the slot number for a StorageWorks Core switch. For all other switches this operand is not required. The slot number must be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port number, so that each port is represented by both slot number (1 through 4, or 7 through 10), and port number (0 through 15). The StorageWorks Core switch has a total of 10 slots. Slots number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and slots 1 through 4, and 7 through 10, are port cards. On each port card, there are 16 ports counted from the bottom, 0 to 15. Specify the number of times to perform this test. The default value is 1. This operand is optional.
