Dell Brocade G620 Brocade 8.0.1 Fabric OS Command Reference - Page 934

portTest This command supports E_Ports, F_Ports (must support ELS Echo), L_Port, and N->N loopback ports. In addition, on switches running Fabric OS v6.4.0 and later, you can now use portTest on port configurations that previously caused nonspecific test results or were skipped by portTest. The following ports are now support the portTest diagnostics. • E_Ports • Static D_Ports • N->N Loopback Ports • F_Ports connected to Brocade-branded HBA • Ports with index numbers greater than 255. • Ports with swapped areas. • Ports in shared area regions. • Ports in logical switches. • Ports in Base Switches. • Long Distance ports. This command is currently not supported on the following ports or switch configurations: • Interchassis links (ICL) ports • F_Ports connected to non-Brocade-branded HBA • F_Ports connected to an Access Gateway • F_Ports on VF-enabled switch • EX_Ports • E_Ports connected to EX_Ports • Dynamic D_Ports • On-demand D_Ports • The portTest diagnostics is not supported in Access Gateway mode. This command performs the following operations: 1. Initiates tests on certain ports (portTest command). 2. Stops active tests on certain ports (stopPortTest command). 3. Takes a snapshot of the test result (portTestShow command). 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. 910 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02
