Troubleshooting Identifying Media-Related Issues Use the following section to narrow down media-related issues in the fabric. Component Tests Overview Hardware diagnostics available on switches can be classified into two different types of tests: ■ Structural tests - do basic tests of the switch circuit. When structural tests fail, replace the main board. ■ Functional tests - verify the intended operational behavior of the switch by running frames through ports or bypass circuitry. Table 17: Component Test Descriptions Test Name crossporttest fporttest loopporttest spinfab Operands [-nframes count] [-lb_mode mode][-spd_mode mode] [-gbic_mode mode] [-norestore mode] [-ports itemlist] [-nframes count] [-ports itemlist] [-seed payload_pattern] [-width pattern_width] [-size pattern_size] [-nframes count] [-ports itemlist][-seed payload_pattern] [-width pattern_width] [ nMillionFrames [, ePortBeg [, ePortEnd [, setFail]]]] Checks Functional test of port external transmit and receive path. The crossport is set to loopback using an external cable by default. However, this command can be used to check internal components by setting the lb operand to 5. Tests component to/from HBA. Used to test online F_Port devices, N_Port devices and SFPs/GBICs. Only tests components attached to switch that are on a FC arbitrated loop. Tests components to/from a neighbor switch, such as ISLs and SFPs/GBICs between switches. 218 Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide
