Dell Brocade G620 Brocade 8.0.1 Fabric OS Command Reference - Page 1064

spinFab Notes The following port types support the spinFab diagnostics. • Loopback ports • AE_Ports • E_Ports • Interchassis link (ICL) E_Ports • ICLs configured as D_Ports • D_Ports • F_Ports connected to Brocade-branded HBA • Trunk master ports • Trunk slave ports • Ports in logical switches • Ports in Base Switches • Loopback ports in D_Port mode between two logical switches on the same switch • Ports on non-VF connected to VF-configured switch • Long distance ports • D_Ports connected to AG switch in D_Port mode • ICL D_Ports connected to AG switch in D_Port mode • Loopback ports in D_Port mode connected to AG switch The following ports do not support the spinFab test: • F_Ports connected to non-Brocade-branded HBA • F_Port connections to N_Port on AG switch • F_Port on VF-enabled switch • Ports on AG switch connected to HBA • EX_Ports • E_Ports connected to EX_Ports • Core blade connected to port blade When trunk groups are present, the entire trunk group must be included in the range of ports to test or false failure notifications may occur. If multiple ISL links are present between two switches that support trunking, then it is likely that trunk groups are present and all ports between the two switches should be tested at the same time. You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (). This command supports a maximum of 16 paths to a single remote domain. When new logical switches are created, appropriate switch domain must be set to avoid domain ID overlap when running spinfab. With insistent DID turned off to overcome this issue, DID negotiation depends on when the switch is powered on. A reboot of the switches with links already established re-configures the domain if the domain ID is already in use by another switch in the fabric, to avoid convergence. Spinfab tests skips F_Ports if Virtual Fabric is enabled on any platform. 1040 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
