Checking Profile Communication
After all Profiles have been rebooted and logged in, ensure that the PortServer
program is running on all Profiles within the Fibre Channel network. Tektronix
recommends that this icon be copied to the Startup group so that it will be
started automatically.
Basic Fibre Channel communication can be verified with the fcping command.
Start a command prompt window and type: fcping profilex_fc0 where profilex
is the name of the remote Profile. For example, to verify Fibre Channel
connectivity to Profile3 you would type:
fcping profile3_fc0 . This command
should return with a positive result. If it does, continue to the next step.
The listnames utility provides enumeration of PdrMovies on a remote Profile.
This utility will list components of PdrMovies, based on a a starting argument
parameter, which specifies a valid PdrMovie component. Valid components are
datasets, groups or movies as defined in the Profile API programming guide.
The listnames usage is:
listnames [-l start_arg] [-r remote_machine]
-l list names based on start_arg
-r remote_machine
(local if not specified)
Examples:
listnames -r Profile5
(This will list all valid datasets on Profile5.)
listnames -r Profile5 -l INT: [ or //]
(This will list all groups in the INT: dataset on Profile5.)
listnames -r Profile5 -l INT:/default/
(This will list all movies in the INT:/default group on Profile5.)
NOTE: If the -r parameter is not specified, the utility will run on the
local Profile. If the -l parameter is not specified, the utility will list all
valid datasets. Dataset names are case sensitive. That means that
INT: and int: would be considered different datasets.
The copymovie movie utility copies a PdrMovie between two Profiles using
the Fibre Channel network.
