Testing A Port; Online Tests For Ports - HP StorageWorks SN6000 Command Line Interface Manual

Testing a port

You can test a port using the test port command using online or offline tests. The following sections
describe the test types, displaying test results, and cancelling a test.

Online tests for ports

An online test is a non-disruptive test that exercises the port, transceiver, and device connections. The port
must be online and connected to a device. Online testing of TR_Ports is not allowed. The following is an
example of an online test:
SN6000 FC Switch #> admin start
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> test port 1 online
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow. Enter a new
value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the default value. If you wish to
terminate this process before reaching the end of the list press 'q' or 'Q' and
the ENTER key to do so.
