Troubleshooting the Fibre Channel
(FC) Links
FC links diagnose Sun StorEdge network FC components in a SAN or a direct
attached storage (DAS) environment.
linktest (1M), which tests the health of the
FC links, is available only from the Test from Topology view of the Storage
Automated Diagnostic Environment GUI.
Note – linktest tests both ends of the link segment and enters a guided isolation
when a fault is detected.
Faults can be detected in one of two ways: when linktest sends an alert on a bad
or intermittent link, or when a red link appears on the topology graph, indicating a
failure.
