Using the Exchanges View Pane
The
Exchanges View
pane displays the following information:
•
Completed SCSI exchanges from FCP-SCSI, iSCSI, and SAS physical layers
•
Completed SATA exchanges from SAS/SATA physical layers
•
Completed Memory and IO Read/Write PCIe exchanges from PCIe physical layers
•
Completed NVMe Admin, Read, and Write exchanges from PCIe physical layers
•
Reassembled iSCSI, FCIP/iFCP, SMB/CIFS, and NFS/RPC PDUs from Ethernet physical
layers
•
12G SAS Transmitter training summary events (only when the selected ports contain
transmitter training summary events). See
“Tx Training Summary Pane” on page 320
.
By default, the exchanges or PDUs for the currently selected ports are displayed as first level
nodes in a tree. For exchanges, the wire events corresponding to each exchange are displayed as
second level nodes in the hierarchy. For PDUs (also referred to as reassembled events) the wire
events or frames that comprise the PDU are displayed as second level nodes in the hierarchy. This
view is available for buffers as well as for saved traces only after post-processing by Xgig Expert.
Exchanges, wire events, and PDUs are listed by timestamp just as in TraceView’s main event grid.
Wire events include only frames, no primitives.
You can change which information is displayed in the hierarchy by selecting an entry from the
Exchanges View
drop-down menu, for example PDUs and Exchanges, PDUs, or Exchanges by
making a selection from the
Exchanges View
drop-down menu.
Select
Exchange
View
from the
View
menu to show or hide Exchanges View. You can also click
the
Show/Hide Exchange View
button in the main window’s toolbar. When opening a trace,
Expert is run automatically. If the trace has not been processed by Expert, a message appears
asking if you would like to run Expert and process the trace. If you agree, Expert is run in the
background. Once the trace has been processed, a message appears asking if you would like to
reload the trace. You can turn off automatic invocation of Expert by selecting
Options/Xgig
TraceView Options
then choosing the
Expert / protocol decodes
tab and turning off the “Launch
Expert automatically every time a trace is opened.” radio button.
Exchanges View information accessed on one domain will not be available on another domain if
you access the trace using the buffers. The temporary Expert information generated by processing
the trace is stored locally. Therefore, when accessing the trace on another domain, you will be
prompted again to process the trace using Expert. You can set the location where temporary Expert
files are stored using Expert.
Note:
Exchanges View hides PCIe exchanges for NVMe devices once the NVMe exchanges
have started.
