▼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
shouldmanually 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 representsthe
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.
