2 portTest NOTES OPERANDS Use the stopPortTest command to stop the test. Refer to the stopPortTest help page for more information. Use the portTestShow command to view the current status of portTest. Refer to the portTestShow help page for more information. If there is a port type change during portTest execution, the test continues on a given port as long as it can be supported and it is asked to do so. If a request was made to test all ports on a given switch, portTest starts a new test appropriate for the new port type. 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: -ports itemlist Specifies the list of user ports to test. By default, all user ports in the switch are tested. Refer to the itemList help page for more information. -iteration count Specifies the number of times (or number of frames per port) to execute this test. Specify 0 to run the test in timeout mode, or specify -1 to run the test indefinitely. The default value is 20. -userdelay time Specifies the delay between frames sent by portTest, in milliseconds. The default value is 10 milliseconds. -timeout time Specifies the number of seconds to run the test. Setting the iteration to 0 puts the portTest process into timeout mode. The default value is 0. -pattern pattern Specifies the pattern of the test packet payload. The pattern is selected from a set of twenty predefined pattern types. Use the dataTypeShow command to view the patterns supported with portTest. For each pattern, the datTypeShow command displays the name, the pattern type number, and an example. Specify the pattern by its type number. If pattern is not specified, it defaults to RANDOM (type=11) -patsize size Specifies the size of the pattern. The default pattern size is 1024 bytes. The range is 4 to 2048 bytes. -seed seed Specifies the seed value to be used with the pattern. The default seed value is 0xaa. -listtype porttype Specifies the type of ports on which to run portTest. Valid values for porttype include the following: -1 All ports (default). -2 All L_Ports. -3 All F_Ports. -4 All E_Ports. 858 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1002746-01
