Configuration Editor
The Configuration Editor is where you configure ports and define capture filters and trigger
conditions. This editor has two tabs. The
General Settings
tab displays a summary of the settings
for all the ports in a domain. Use the General Settings tab to set the values and options for all
hardware and data settings for all ports in a configuration.
For the purposes of triggering, all ports are divided into state machines. For PCIe, FC, and GE
ports or links, each port pair is a state machine. For SAS/SATA each link is a state machine. For
SAS/SATA, all ports in a link must reside on the same blade. FC and GE links can reside on
multiple blades. All ports in a state machine transition in sync.
The Capture and Trigger Setup tab allows you to define capture filters and transitions for state
machines. It provides a graphical representation of the state machine and capture filter and
transition editors. You can only edit one state machine at a time. The State Machine drop-down
menu in the Trigger Setup window allows you to choose which state machine you want to edit.
The
Apply to all port pairs button applies the current configuration to all port pairs/links. You can
use the
Apply to other port pairs
button to access a dialog where you can choose other port pairs
or links to apply the current capture and trigger settings to. Click Apply to apply the current
configuration to the selected port pairs. A configuration for a state machine cannot be applied to
state machines of another protocol. For example, if a domain contains two FC port pairs on a 4G
blade, one GE port pair, and a SAS/SATA link, selecting
Apply to other port pairs
while editing
the state machine for a 4G FC ports pair will pop up a dialog showing the remaining 4G FC port
pair available for selection.
Note: The only protocols that allow a state machine to be applied to blades of another type
are FC and SAS/SATA. 2G, 4G, or 8G FC configurations can be applied to one another’s state
machines. 2G, 4G, or 8G FC configurations can be applied to a 16G FC state machine, but a
16G FC configuration cannot be applied to other FC state machines. 10G FC cannot be
applied to an FC blade of another speed.
3G SAS configurations can be applied to 6G and 12G SAS/SATA state machines, but 6G and
12G SAS/SATA configurations cannot be applied to a 3G SAS/SATA state machine.
