Sun Microsystems 6900 Series, 3900 Series manual To Check Fibre Channel Link Error Status Manually

▼To Check Fibre Channel Link Error Status Manually

The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment, which runs on the Storage Service Processor, monitors the Fibre Channel link status of the virtualization engine. The virtualization engine must be power-cycled to reset the counters. Therefore, you should manually check the accumulation of errors between a fixed period of time. To check the status manually, follow these steps:

1.Use the svstat command to take a reading, as shown in CODE EXAMPLE 7-1. A Status report for the host-side and device-side ports is displayed.

2.Within the next few minutes, take another reading.

The number of new errors that occurred within that time frame represents the number of link errors.

Note –If the t3ofdg(1M) is running while you perform these steps, the following error message is displayed:

Daemon error: check the SLIC router.
