Running a Fibre Channel protocol-level test using HCM

There are three protocol-level tests:

•Echo test, which sends an FC Echo ELS to a remote port.

•FC ping test, which requests the management server to test the connectivity with a given remote port (without zoning restrictions). Not supported in Solaris operating systems.

•FC traceroute test, which requests to enumerate the route between two given end points. Not supported in Solaris operating systems.

To run one of the protocol-level tests, use the following procedure.

1.Select an adapter or port from the device tree.

2.Select Configure > Diagnostics from the main menu.

OR

Right-click the component and select Diagnostics from the list. The Diagnostics dialog box, shown in Figure 22, displays.

3.Click the FC Protocol Tests tab.
