SpinFab and portTest 10 CAUTION During the spinFab testing, the switch remains in normal operation. However, some performance degradation will occur due to the ISL links being saturated with the test frames. This test should be run with caution on a live fabric. Table 15 lists the supported ports for the specified version of Fabric OS when using the spinFab command.

If you use the spinFab command to test F_Ports connected to Brocade HBAs it is required that the firmware version on the HBA is v2.1.1 or later. Debugging spinFab errors Link errors and tx/rx errors are seen when the spinFab test fails. Link Errors Once the frame is sent out of the port, the spinFab command monitors the link errors in the ASIC. If any of the error counters are non-zero, spinFab reports ERROR and the test fails on the port.
