pathInfo 2 NOTES OPERANDS The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. This command has the following operands: destination_switch Specifies the destination switch. To obtain path info in a Layer 2 fabric, the destination switch can be identified by its Domain ID, by the switch WWN, or by the switch name. To obtain path info across remote fabrics connected through an FC Router, the destination switch must be identified by its Domain ID. Identifying the switch by name or WWN is not accepted. This operand is optional; if omitted, the command prompts for input interactively. source_port Specifies the port whose path to the destination domain is traced, specified as the port index. The embedded port (-1) is the default. The embedded port can be selected manually by entering the value of MAX_PORT. MAX_PORT stands for the maximum number of ports supported by the local switch. destination_port Specifies the port on the destination switch for the path being traced. This operand returns the state of this port. The embedded port (-1) is used by default, or if you specify a destination port that is not active. The destination is specified as the port index. "-r" Displays the reverse path in addition to the forward path. This operand is optional. -t Displays the command output in traceroute format. When this operand is used, only routing information is displayed. The output includes the time it takes, in microseconds, to reach each hop. Basic and extended statistics are not available in the traceroute format. -sid source_pid Specifies the source ID of the originator device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. -did destination_pid Specifies the destination ID of the proxy device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. You can view the proxy device IDs using the nsAllShow command. --help Displays the command usage. When executed without operands, pathInfo runs interactively. Specifying a destination switch is required; the values for the source and destination ports can be -1 to indicate the embedded port. You must specify the source and destination PID to display the correct TI-enabled path information across the FCR. Reverse-path tracing is optional. In addition, this command prompts for the following parameters: Max hops The maximum number of hops that the pathInfo frame is allowed to traverse; the default is 25. Fabric Id Specifies the Fabric ID. If unspecified, the value defaults to -1 (Default switch FID 128) Domain|Wwn|Name Specifies the domain ID or WWN. Fabric OS Command Reference 587 53-1002746-01
