v
The date and time the test was run.
v
Status:
– OK: All of the pairs of cables are good and do not have any faults.
– Open: One or more of the four pairs of cables are open.
– Short: One or more of the four pairs of cables are shorted.
– Incomplete: One or more of the four pairs returned incomplete or invalid test results.
v Length – The Length of the cables are listed in meters and the following information about the cables
is returned:
– When the cable status is OK, the approximate lengths of the cable pairs are returned. The lengths of
the cable pair is are shown as a range (L1-L2), which are the shortest and the longest lengths of the
cable pairs.
– If the cable status is Open or Short, the approximate distance to the failure in the cable pairs. If
there is one failure, the length is reported for that cable pair. If there is more than one failure, the
information returned is both the shortest and longest lengths to the failures. The lengths are listed as
a range (L1-L2) where L1<L2.
– If the cable status is Incomplete, the information returned are the lengths for the shortest and
longest cable pairs that the firmware can successfully test. The lengths are listed for the valid cable
pairs as a range (L1-L2) where L1<L2.
v
Register values for the cable diagnostic registers. The values are in a hexadecimal format:
– Two bytes show the combined cable status (four bits per port).
– Four two-byte numbers show the length of each channel.
Diagnose Remote Mirror
This command tests the connection between the specified primary logical drives and the mirror logical
drives on a storage subsystem with the Enhanced Remote Mirroring feature enabled.
Syntax
diagnose remoteMirror (primary [ primarylogicalDriveName ] |
primaries [ primaryLogicalDriveName1 ... primarylogicalDriveNameN ])
testID=connectivity
Parameters
Parameter Description
primary or primaries The name of the primary logical drive of the remote mirror
pair that you want to test. You can enter more than one
primary logical drive name. Enclose the primary logical
drive names in square brackets ([ ]). If the primary logical
drive name has special characters, you also must enclose the
primary logical drive name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
Diagnose Enhanced Remote Mirroring
This command tests the connection between the specified primary logical drives and the mirror logical
drives on a storage subsystem with the Enhanced Remote Mirroring premium feature enabled.
Syntax
diagnose syncMirror (primary [primarylogicalDriveName] |
primaries [primarylogicalDriveName1 ... primarylogicalDriveNameN])
testID=connectivity
