longer actively tracked, but the information on that command will still be present in the
Command Log File (provided the Command Log File does not wrap and overwrite the
data).
Note that Command End Events may not all be successful command completions.
Events such as CHECK_CONDITION result in termination of a command in a way
consistent with the SCSI protocol, and will result in the command being terminated
without generating a timeout trigger condition.
When a trigger condition is reached (or when the desired recording size is reached when
in "snapshot" mode), the recording will stop and the Command Log File will be available
for viewing.
Note: Catastrophic events such as Bus Resets which result in all
commands being terminated are not supported by SASTracker.
Installing the SASTracker Command Analyzer
The SASTracker Command Analyzer option is installed and connected to systems in
exactly the same way as the SASTracer Protocol Analyzer (see “Installation” on page 7).
Both systems reside in the traffic pathway on a SAS/SATA link.
If not already installed, the SASSuite software should be installed on the host PC as
described in “Installing the SASSuite Software” on page 17.
Changing
the
BusEngine
If the system is being operated as both a SASTracer Protocol Analyzer and a SASTracker
Command Analyzer, the BusEngine will need to be changed each time the unit is
converted between the two functions. As noted previously, the same hardware can
support both functions, but the two functions cannot coexist at the same time. If both
tracing and tracking are required simultaneously, two separate CATC 10K platforms must
be used.
To check which BusEngine is currently loaded, select the About... option from the Help
menu.
To switch from one BusEngine to the other, select the Switch ... to ... option under the
Setup menu. This option will display whenever a SASTrainer or SASTracker System is
connected to the host PC. If multiple systems are connected, a selection will show for
each connected analyzer. Make sure that the analyzer you wish to update is connected
to the host PC and is turned on.
