Collecting port data
3
Displaying logical port properties
Use the HCM LPorts Properties panel to display properties associated with a logical port, such as
port and node WWN, Fibre Channel address, online or offline state, fabric name, and name server
activity. To display logical port properties, use the following steps.
1. From the device tree, select a logical port.
2. Click the LPORTs Properties tab in the right panel.
Displaying virtual port properties
Use the HCM Virtual Port Parameters properties panel to display the properties associated with a
virtual port, such as PWWN and node WWN, Fibre Channel address, offline or online state, role
(such as FCP initiator), and attached switch WWN. For mezzanine or expansion card adapters,
“pre-boot” display indicates that virtual port configuration was accomplished using a blade system
management application.
To display virtual port properties, use the following steps.
1. From the device tree, select a virtual port.
2. The Virtual Port Parameters properties panel displays.
Displaying the port log
Use the debug --portlog BCU command to display a log of Fibre Channel frames and other main
control messages that were sent out and received on a specific port. You can use this information
to isolate adapter and Fibre Channel protocol problems.
debug --portlog <port_id>
where:
port_id The ID of the port for which you want to display the port log. This could be the
PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could also be
the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port 1 you
would use 1/1 as the port identification.
NOTE
If the port log is disabled, a warning message displays. Use the debug -portlogctl command to
enable and disable the port log.
