3 Diagnostics Issuing a ping command to end points through HCM Use the FC Protocol Tests tab on the Diagnostics dialog box to test the connection to Fibre Channel end points. Use the following steps to ping end points. 1. Launch the HCM. 2. Select Configure > Diagnostics to display the Diagnostics dialog box. 3. Click the FC Protocol Tests tab. 4. Select FC Ping Test. 5. Select the adapter port and target that you wish to ping. 6. Enter a test cycle if applicable. 7. Click Start. Adapter temperature Use the BCU diag --tempshow command to read the adapter's temperature sensor registers. diag --tempshow where: ad_id ID of adapter. Queue test Use BCU commands and the HCM to send a health check message from the host to the firmware through message queues memory mapped over the PCI. Performing a queue test through BCU Use the diag --queuetest command to perform a queue test. diag --queuetest [-q ] where: port_id -q queue_number Adapter port number. This could be the PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could also be the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port 1, you would use 1/1 as the port identification. Specifies the CPE queue number from 0 to 3. If the queue number is not specified, all queues are tested. Performing a queue test through HCM Use the Hardware Tests tab on the Diagnostics dialog box as follows to perform a queue test. 1. Launch HCM. 2. Select Configure > Diagnostics. 3. Click the Hardware Tests tab. 94 Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide 53-1002145-01

.
Adapter temperature
Use the BCU
diag --tempshow
command to read the adapter’s temperature sensor registers.
diag --tempshow <ad_id>
where:
ad_id
ID of adapter.
Queue test
Use BCU commands and the HCM to send a health check message from the host to the firmware
through message queues memory mapped over the PCI.
Performing a queue test through BCU
Use the
diag --queuetest
command to perform a queue test.
diag --queuetest <port_id> [-q <queue_num>]
where:
port_id
Adapter port number. This could be the PWWN, port hardware path, or
user-specified port name. This could also be the adapter-index/port-index.
For example, to specify adapter 1, port 1, you would use 1/1 as the port
identification.
-q queue_number
Specifies the CPE queue number from 0 to 3. If the queue number is not
specified, all queues are tested.
Performing a queue test through HCM
Use the
Hardware Tests
tab on the
Diagnostics
dialog box as follows to perform a queue test.
