3 Data collection using Fabric OS commands (Brocade switches only) VMware ESX 5.0 and later systems For VMware ESX 5.0 and later systems, BCU commands are integrated with the esxcli infrastructure. To run a BCU command, use the following syntax: esxcli brocade bcu --command="command" where: command BCU command, such as port --list. For example: esxcli brocade bcu --command="port -list" Data collection using Fabric OS commands (Brocade switches only) Use the following Fabric OS commands on attached Brocade switches to gather information and help isolate connectivity and other problems between the adapter, switch, and storage ports. For details on using these commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. • authUtil Use this command to display and set local switch authentication parameters. • cfgShow Use this command to display zone configuration information for the switch. You can use command output to verify target ports (by port WWN) and LUNs that are intended to be accessible from the adapter. • fcpProbeShow Use this command to display the Fibre Channel Protocol daemon (FCPd) device-probing information for the devices attached to a specified F_Port or FL_Port. This information includes the number of successful logins and SCSI INQUIRY commands sent over this port and a list of the attached devices. • nsShow Use this command to display local NS information about all devices connected to a specific switch. This includes information such as the device PID, device type, and the port and node WWN. • zoneshow Use this command without parameters to display all zone configuration information (both defined and enabled). • portErrShow Use this command to display an error summary for all switch ports. • portLogShow Use this command to display the port log for ports on a switch. 66 Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide 53-1002145-01

Fabric OS Command Reference Manual
.
•
authUtil
Use this command to display and set local switch authentication parameters.

command output to verify target ports (by port WWN) and LUNs that are intended to be
accessible from the adapter.
•
fcpProbeShow
Use this command to display the Fibre Channel Protocol daemon (FCPd) device-probing
information for the devices attached to a specified F_Port or FL_Port. This information includes
the number of successful logins and SCSI INQUIRY commands sent over this port and a list of
the attached devices.
•
nsShow
Use this command to display local NS information about all devices connected to a specific
switch. This includes information such as the device PID, device type, and the port and node
WWN.
•
zoneshow
Use this command without parameters to display all zone configuration information (both
defined and enabled).
•
portErrShow
Use this command to display an error summary for all switch ports.
•
portLogShow
Use this command to display the port log for ports on a switch.
