2. Select the fabric for which you want to configure end-to-end monitoring from the Fabric list.

3. Select an initiator port from the Select an initiator port list.

4. Select a target port from the Select a target port list.

5. Click the right arrow to move the selected initiator and target ports to the Monitored Pairs list.

The system automatically determines the initiator SID and the target DID identifiers for the pair
and displays them in the Monitored Pairs list.

6. Click Apply.

Before you apply end-to-end monitoring to ports moved to the Monitored Pairs list the Status
column displays “Not Configured.” When you Apply the monitored pair, the Status column
displays “Enabled”. If the end-to-end monitored pair fails, the Status column displays
“Failed:Reason”.

NOTE

If the initiator or target port is part of a logical switch and you move it to another logical switch,
the end-to-end monitor fails.

Once you have created the end-to-end monitored pair, you can view both real-time and
historical performance data. For step-by-step instructions, refer to

“Displaying end-to-end

monitor pairs in a real-time graph”

on page 984 or

“Displaying end-to-end monitor pairs in a

historical graph”

on page 984.
