Fabric OS Commands Operands This command has the following operands: nMillionFrames (V3.1.x only) ePortBeg (V3.1.x only) ePortEnd (V3.1.x only) failmode (V3.1.x only) -nmegs count (V4.1.x only) -ports list (V4.1.x only) Number of million frames to send. The test will progress until the specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value for nmill is 10, so the number of frames sent will be at least 10 million. The counting is not exact so the actual number of frames sent will tend to be slightly larger, particularly at 2-Gbps link speeds. Specify the first port to test, if omitted 0 will be used. This operand is optional. Specify the last port to test. The test will be performed on ePortBeg to ePortEnd inclusive. If ePortEnd is omitted then the default will be to test all ports. This operand is optional. This parameter may be used to cause spinfab to mark failing ports as bad like a normal diagnostic. 1 = Mark failing ports as BAD 0 = do not mark failed ports as bad. To minimize the impact on live fabrics this test normally logs errors, but does not set the port status to FAILED. This parameter is provided to force the failing ports to be marked as BAD, in the same manner as other diagnostics. In test or qualification environments without live traffic this may be useful with large values of nmil. This mode is disabled by default. Specify the number of frames to send in millions. The test will progress until the specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value is 10, that is, 10 million frames. This command only approximately counts the frames and the actual number of frames sent will be slightly larger, particularly at 2G link speeds. Specify a list of user ports to test. By default all of the ISL ports in the current switch will be tested. This option may be used to restrict testing to the specified ports. This operand is optional. See the itemlist command for more information. 770 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
