Setting Up for Generating Initiator Traffic

Connect the SAS cable from the Target port of the Sierra Analyzer to the Target port on
the unit under test. This transmits the Traffic Generator stream from the Target port to
the target‐side port on the unit under test.

Setting Up for Generating Target Traffic

Connect the SAS cable from the Initiator port of the Sierra Analyzer to the 
Initiator‐side port on the unit under test. This transmits the Traffic Generator stream from
the Initiator port to the initiator‐side port on the unit under test.

Creating a Traffic Generation File

Generating traffic is a two‐step process.
First, create a text‐based Sierra Trainer Traffic Generator file. This text file has an .ssg
extension. You can create this file by creating a new generator file or editing an existing
file.
Note:
ssg files created in other applications run in the Sierra Trainer.
After the file has been created, it can be opened and displayed in the application. You can
invoke the application to transmit the traffic generation file by using the Start Generation
button
Note:
For details about traffic generation files, see "Sierra Trainer Generation Language" on page 400.
