Sun Proprietary/Confidential: Internal Use Only

An error in the A1 or B1 FC link can also cause a device to enter the “unusable” state
in

cfgadm -al

FRU Tests Available for the A1 or B1 FC Link
Segment

The following FRU tests are available for the A1 or B1 FC link segment. All
diagnostics are located in

/opt/SUNWstade/Diags/bin

. Refer to the man pages

for more details.

■

HBA—

qlctest

(1M)

■

Available only if the Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment is installed
on a data host

■

Causes HBA to go offline and online during tests

■

Switch —

switchtest

(1M)

■

Can be run while the link is still cabled and online (connected to HBA)

■

Can be run only from the Storage Service Processor.

■

The

dev

option to

switchtest

is in the following format:

Port:IP-Address:FCAddress

The

FCAddress

can be set to 0x0.

Note –

If you are testing an A1 or B1 FC link that is connected to an HBA, you must

specify a payload of 200 bytes or less. This is a limitation in the HBA application-
specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
