While the interface card’s current, previous, and last assert trace data does provide a complete summary of events in a chronological fashion, SCSI Command Tracking adds the ability to filter the trace data to show only the information related to the processing of specific SCSI commands.

SCSI Command Tracking can be toggled to ON or OFF. When toggled ON and submitted, all SCSI commands received or transmitted to or from the interface card are then logged in the

SCSI Commands section shown on this screen. When set to OFF (and submitted), no SCSI commands are logged.

Previous entries for SCSI Command Tracking can also be cleared. Toggling the clear option to the ON position and selecting the Submit button clears all previous entries.

The settings for the Host/Device ID Table are used to filter the trace data such that a sub-set of the total logged information is displayed under the SCSI Commands section. Logged data can be defined according to the Protocol (FC, Other, or ALL), Type (Device, Host, or ALL), and Value (ID or ALL). For the ID, this can be a specific FC LUN or Switch ID (S_ID) or some other specific value. Selecting the Submit button activates the settings for Protocol, Type, and Value.
