2
Use the stopPortTest command to stop the test. Refer to the stopPortTest help page for more
information.
Use the portTestShow command to view the current status of portTest. Refer to the portTestShow
help page for more information.
If there is a port type change during portTest execution, the test continues on a given port as long as it
can be supported and it is asked to do so. If a request was made to test all ports on a given switch,
portTest starts a new test appropriate for the new port type.
NOTES 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:
-ports itemlist
Specifies the list of user ports to test. By default, all user ports in the switch are
tested. Refer to the itemList help page for more information.
-iteration count
Specifies the number of times (or number of frames per port) to execute this test.
Specify 0 to run the test in timeout mode, or specify -1 to run the test indefinitely.
The default value is 20.
-userdelay time
Specifies the delay between frames sent by portTest, in milliseconds. The default
value is 10 milliseconds.
-timeout time
Specifies the number of seconds to run the test. Setting the iteration to 0 puts the
portTest process into timeout mode. The default value is 0.
-pattern pattern
Specifies the pattern of the test packet payload. The pattern is selected from a set
of twenty predefined pattern types. Use the dataTypeShow command to view the
patterns supported with portTest. For each pattern, the datTypeShow command
displays the name, the pattern type number, and an example. Specify the pattern
by its type number. If pattern is not specified, it defaults to RANDOM (type=11)
-patsize size
Specifies the size of the pattern. The default pattern size is 1024 bytes. The range
is 4 to 2048 bytes.
-seed seed
Specifies the seed value to be used with the pattern. The default seed value is
0xaa.
-listtype porttype
Specifies the type of ports on which to run portTest. Valid values for porttype
include the following:
-1
All ports (default).
-2
All L_Ports.
-3
