Flow Generator example procedures
The following examples describe how to work with Flow Generator flows.
Creating a flow from a specific source to a specific destination
The following example creates a generator flow, as shown in Figure 512 .
FIGURE 512 Generator flow from a specific source to a specific destination
To create a generator flow between a specific source and a specific destination, complete the
following steps.
1. Create two SIM-Ports ( “Enabling SIM-Port mode” on page 1180").
In this example, SIM-Port 1/1 is the source port and SIM-Port 1/2 is the destination device.
2. Right-click an initiator SIM-Port in the Product List and select Fabric Vision > Flow > Add.
Generator Number of complete runs
(count) The number of complete runs reported in the last data point
received for the flow.
Generator Percent Complete of the Curent
run (percentage) The percentage completion of the current run reported in the
last data point received for the flow.
Ingress Port The ingress port defined in the flow definition. The port name is
a hyperlink. Click to launch the port’s property sheet. A yellow
icon indicates a bottlenecked port.
Egress Port The egress port defined in the flow definition. The port name is
a hyperlink. Click to launch the port’s property sheet. A yellow
icon indicates a bottlenecked port.
Source Fabric ID The fabric identifier of the source defined in the flow definition.
Destination Fabric ID The fabric identifier of the destination defined in the flow
definition.
LUN Any LUN values defined in the flow definition.
Bi-Directional Whether the flow is bidirectional (yes) or not (no).
Flow Definition Persistence Whether the flow is configured to persist over switch reboots
(yes) or not (no).
Last Updated Time The date and time the sub-flow was last updated.
