•
Trunk slave ports
• Ports in logical switches
• Ports in Base Switches
• Loopback ports in D_Port mode between two logical switches on the same switch
•
Ports on non-VF connected to VF-configured switch
•
Long distance ports
• D_Ports connected to AG switch in D_Port mode
• ICL D_Ports connected to AG switch in D_Port mode
• Loopback ports in D_Port mode connected to AG switch
The following ports do not support the spinFab test:
•
F_Ports connected to non-Brocade-branded HBA
•
F_Port connections to N_Port on AG switch
•
Ports on AG switch connected to HBA
• EX_Ports
• E_Ports connected to EX_Ports
When trunk groups are present, the entire trunk group must be included in the range of ports to test or
false failure notifications may occur. If multiple ISL links are present between two switches that support
trunking, then it is likely that trunk groups are present and all ports between the two switches should be
tested at the same time.
You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key (<cr>).
This command supports a maximum of 16 paths to a single remote domain.
When new logical switches are created, appropriate switch domain must be set to avoid domain ID
overlap when running spinfab. With insistent DID turned off to overcome this issue, DID negotiation
depends on when the switch is powered on. A reboot of the switches with links already established
re-configures the domain if the domain ID is already in use by another switch in the fabric, to avoid
convergence.
Spinfab tests skips F_Ports if Virtual Fabric is enabled on any platform.
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
-nmegs count
Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The test progresses until the
specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value
is 10 million frames. This command only approximately counts the frames and the
actual number of frames sent will be slightly larger, particularly at link speeds of 4
Gbps or higher.
-framesize bytes
For internal use only. Not supported.
-ports itemlist
Specifies a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the ISL ports in the current
switch are tested. Refer to itemList for further details.
-setfail mode
Instructs spinFab how to mark failed ports. Valid values include the following:
0
Does not mark failing ports as FAILED (default). This option minimizes the impact
on live fabrics.
