5 perfUserMonitor perfUserMonitor OPERAND EXAMPLE The perfUserMonitor valueList parameter must be entered in hexadecimal format. Decimal values are not permitted. Update the parameter description and example as follows: valueList Specifies up to four values that need to be captured from the frame contents. The ValueList values must be in hexadecimal notation. SOFx frames are considered special cases. The Offset is specified as 0x0, valueList values are specified with: 0 SOFf 1 SOFc1 2 OFi1 3 SOFn1 4 SOFi2 5 SOFn2 6 SOFi3 7 OFn3 To add a filter-based monitor for all Extended Link Service requests (R_CTL=0x22 and TYPE=0x01) to a port: switch:admin> perfaddusermonitor 1/4 "4, 0xff, 0x22; 0x12, 0xff, 0x01" User monitor #0 added As a special case, to add a filter-based monitor for SOFi3 on a port: switch:admin> perfaddusermonitor 1/4 "0, 0xff, 6" User monitor #1 added switchName A switch name can include up to 30 characters on all platforms running Fabric OS v.6.2.0 or later. On the Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, and 5410 platforms running earlier firmware versions, the switch name can be up to 31 characters long. On all other pre-Fabric OS v6.2.0 platforms, the name is limited to 15 characters. When you configure a switch name with 31 characters on a switch running Fabric OS v 6.1 and upgrade from v6.1.X to v 6.2, the login prompt and switchShow command may still show 31 characters. This inconsistency is harmless and does not cause memory corruption. To resolve the inconsistency, you can take one of the following actions: • Reboot the system after upgrade from v6.1.X to v 6.2. Wait for the switch to reboot and log in after the switch has come back up. The switch name will show only 30 characters. • Do a firmware upgrade from v6.2 to 6.3. This upgrade involves a reboot. Wait for the switch to reboot and log in after the switch has come back up. The switch name will show only 30 characters. The behavior of the switchName command in Fabric OS v 6.4 is the same as in v6.3. Since you cannot upgrade directly to from v6.1.x to v6.4, the issue of switch name inconsistency is not applicable to Fabric OS v6.4. 16 Fabric OS Documentation Updates 53-1002063-09

EXAMPLE
To add a filter-based monitor for all Extended Link Service requests (R_CTL=0x22 and TYPE=0x01) to a
port:
switch:admin>
perfaddusermonitor 1/4 "4, 0xff, 0x22; 0x12, 0xff, 0x01"
User monitor #0 added
As a special case, to add a filter-based monitor for SOFi3 on a port:
switch:admin>
perfaddusermonitor 1/4 "0, 0xff, 6"
User monitor #1 added
switchName
A switch name can include up to
30
characters on all platforms running Fabric OS v.6.2.0 or later. On the
Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, and 5410 platforms running earlier firmware versions, the switch name can be
up to
31
characters long. On all other pre-Fabric OS v6.2.0 platforms, the name is limited to 15
characters.
When you configure a switch name with 31 characters on a switch running Fabric OS v 6.1 and upgrade
from v6.1.X to v 6.2, the login prompt and
switchShow
command may still show 31 characters. This
inconsistency is harmless and does not cause memory corruption. To resolve the inconsistency, you can
take one of the following actions:
•
Reboot the system after upgrade from v6.1.X to v 6.2. Wait for the switch to reboot and log in
after the switch has come back up. The switch name will show only 30 characters.
•
Do a firmware upgrade from v6.2 to 6.3. This upgrade involves a reboot. Wait for the switch to
reboot and log in after the switch has come back up. The switch name will show only 30
characters.
The behavior of the
switchName
command in Fabric OS v 6.4 is the same as in v6.3. Since you cannot
upgrade directly to from v6.1.x to v6.4, the issue of switch name inconsistency is not applicable to Fabric
OS v6.4.
