Permissions for the operator role have changed.

NAME SYNOPSIS Configures and displays SerDes tuning parameters. serdestunemode --autoenable serdestunemode --autodisable serdestunemode --autoreset serdestunemode --autoshow DESCRIPTION OPERANDS Use this command to configure and display SerDes values on the Brocade FC8-16 and to control tuning optimization of backend links for all Brocade FC8-xx blades. When used with the --autoset, --autodisable, --autoreset and --autoshow options, this command configures tuning optimization for backend SerDes errors. SerDes tuning optimization is indicated when you receive RASLog errors of type C2-5825 indicating a CRC error with a good EOF. Brocade highly recommends that you contact your service provider if you encounter such errors. If the error appears to be an isolated incident, you may enable auto SerDes tuning for a short period of time (24-48 hours) to see if this resolves the problem. Then disable the function to reduce the risk of resetting register values unnecessarily if single occurrence errors are encountered. If the errors persist contact your service provider. --autoset --autodisable --autoreset --autoshow Enables SerDes tuning optimization on all backend ports. Disables further tuning optimization but retains all current tuning values identified by the algorithm. Disables further tuning optimization and resets all tuning values back to their default values. If SerDes tune mode or was set, the co figuration is restored. Displays whether SerDes tuning optimization is enabled or disabled. 40 Fabric OS Documentation Updates 53-1002063-09

fmConfig
This command has been reclassified as an Advanced Performance Monitor (APM) command. It is no
longer displayed with the
fwHelp
command; it is now displayed under
perfHelp.
Permissions for the operator role have changed.
Users with the operator role do not have permission to execute following commands:
fmConfig --create
fmconfig --change
fmconfig --addmonitor
fmconfig --delmonitor
fmconfig --delete
fmconfig --save
fmconfig --clear
Users with the operator role are allowed to execute following commands:
fmconfig --show
fmconfig --help
serDesTuneMode
This command has been enhanced with new operands to support an automated tuning process to fix
CRC errors. The man page has been updated as follows; only the additions are shown below.
NAME
Configures and displays SerDes tuning parameters.
SYNOPSIS
serdestunemode --autoenable
serdestunemode --autodisable
serdestunemode --autoreset
serdestunemode --autoshow
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to configure and display SerDes values on the Brocade FC8-16 and to control tuning
optimization of backend links for all Brocade FC8-xx blades.
When used with the
--autoset
,
--autodisable,
--autoreset
and
--autoshow
options, this command
configures tuning optimization
for backend SerDes errors.
SerDes tuning optimization is indicated when
you receive RASLog errors of type C2-5825 indicating a CRC error with a good EOF. Brocade highly
recommends that you contact your service provider if you encounter such errors. If the error appears to
be an isolated incident, you may enable auto SerDes tuning for a short period of time (24-48 hours) to
see if this resolves the problem. Then disable the function to reduce the risk of resetting register values
unnecessarily if single occurrence errors are encountered. If the errors persist contact your service
provider.
OPERANDS
--autoset
Enables SerDes tuning optimization on all backend ports.
--autodisable
Disables further tuning optimization but retains all current tuning values identified
by the algorithm.
--autoreset
Disables further tuning optimization and resets all tuning values back to their
default values. If SerDes tune mode or was set, the co figuration is restored.
--autoshow
Displays whether SerDes tuning optimization is enabled or disabled.
