iscsiPathTest
Performs functional test of components in iSCSI complex.
Synopsis
iscsipathtest --slot slot -unit number -path mode -nframes count
Description
Use this command to verify the functions of the network processor and the iSCSI complex. Multiple
frames or data packets are transmitted from the Network processor to designated loopback points
and sent back. The command checks statistics, frame counts, data path, and hardware
connections in the iSCSI complex. You can set the data path mode with the -path option.
Notes
This command is supported only on the Brocade FR4-16IP blade. On all other platforms, this
command displays the message:
“Command not applicable to this platform. SKIPPED!”
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:
--
slot slot
Specifies the slot number on which to run the diagnostics. The default is set
to 0 and designed to operate on fixed-port-count products.
-unit number
Specifies the GbE port to test. By default all the GbE ports in the specified slot
are tested. . Specify an integer between 0 and 7 or 8 to specify all ports.
-path mode
Selects the loopback point for the test. By default, iscsiPathTest uses PHY
and Central ASIC loopback. Valid values are:
1
Data packets from network processor to GbE RJ-45 loopback.
2
Data packets from network processor to GbE PHY loopback.
3
Data packets from network processor to GbE GMAC loopback.
4
FC frames from network processor to Central ASIC FC Serdes loopback.
5
FC frames from network processor to serial loopback at iFlipper FC serdes.
6
FC frames from network processor to parallel loopback at iFlipper FC serdes.
9
Data packets from network processor to loopback at network processor 8-bit
FIFO.
-nframes count
Specifies the number of frames to send. The test progresses until the
specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default
value is 100.
Examples
To run iscsipathtest:
