bottleneckMon
This command has been enhanced with additional command options to support credit recovery on
external backend ports.
SYNTAX
The syntax for added credit recovery support is as follows:
bottleneckmon --cfgcredittools -intport -recover
[
off
|
onLrOnly
|
onLrThresh
]
bottleneckmon--showcredittools
DESCRIPTION
Add the following text to the Description section:
Credit recovery on backend ports
Use the
--cfgcredittools
commands to enable or disable credit recovery of external backend ports and
to display the configuration. When this feature is enabled, credit is recovered on external backend ports
(ports connected to the core blade or core blade backend ports) when credit loss has been detected on
these ports. When used with the
-recover onLrOnly
option, the recovery mechanism takes the following
escalating actions:
When it detects credit loss, it performs a link reset and logs a RASlog message (RAS Cx-1014).
If the link reset fails to recover the port, the port reinitializes. A RASlog message is generated (RAS
Cx-1015). Note that the port reinitialization does not fault the blade.
If the port fails to reinitialize, the port is faulted. A RASlog message (RAS Cx-1016) is generated.
If a port is faulted and there are no more online backend ports in the trunk, the core blade is faulted.
(Note that the port blade will always be faulted). A RASlog message is generated (RAS Cx-1017).
When used with the
-recover onLrThresh
option, recovery is attempted through repeated link resets
and a count of the link resets is kept. If the threshold of more than two link resets per hour is reached, the
blade is faulted (RAS Cx-1018). Note that regardless of whether the link reset occurs on the port blade or
on the core blade, the port blade is always faulted.
For more information on the RASlog messages, refer to the
Fabric OS Message Reference.
NOTES
Add the following text to the Notes section:
The credit recovery commands are supported only on backend ports of Condor, Condor 2, and Condor
3-based blades in the Brocade DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, and DCX 8510-4 chassis.
