Troubleshooting the Fibre Channel (FC) Links

FC links diagnose Sun StorEdge network FC components in a SAN or a direct attached storage (DAS) environment. linktest(1M), which tests the health of the FC links, is available only from the Test from Topology view of the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment GUI.

Note linktesttests both ends of the link segment and enters a guided isolation when a fault is detected.

Faults can be detected in one of two ways: when linktest sends an alert on a bad or intermittent link, or when a red link appears on the topology graph, indicating a failure.
