-fr_type type -extonly mode Specifies the frame type to send. The default value is 1. Type Description 0 Single frame 1 spinfab frames 2 spinfab 1K frames Specifies external-test-only mode. The default value is 0, which disables this mode. This command normally sends bursts of frames from each port under test to every other port in the list. With -extonly mode set to 1, the command sends only one burst of frames to each port from each ASIC pair-to-ASIC pair link. This tests all of the external connections with only K * N frames instead of the N^2 frames required in all-to-all mode. This mode is intended to be used in ESS/burn-in testing to optimize test time. backport tests only the external connections between each ASIC pair. txdPath is used to test the internal ASIC pair-to-ASIC pair paths. The values are: 0 Send frames from all ports to all other ports. 1 Send only one burst of frames to each link. Examples To test for backend ASIC pair links: switch:admin> backport -ports 1/1-1/3 -nframes 10 One moment please ... backport running... backport: Completed 840 frames, status: passed. Diagnostics When the command detects failures, the test can report one or more of the following error messages: ERR_STAT ERR_STATS INIT PORT_DIED PORT_STOPPED XMIT See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.x diagnostics and system error messages reference guide for more information.
