Note
the Cisco Traffic Analyzer from the Performance Manager details charts. Performance Manager is a part
of the Fabric Manager and is a licensed feature in Cisco SAN-OS Release 1.3(2a) or later.
Caution If data truncate is enabled, the Cisco Traffic Analyzer's Fibre Channel throughput values are not accurate
when used with DS-PAA. The PAA version is required to achieve accurate results with truncate because
it adds a count that enables the Cisco Traffic Analyzer to determine how many data bytes were actually
transferred.
Tip You can use SPAN to monitor traffic on an interface without any traffic disruption. This feature is useful
in troubleshooting scenarios when traffic disruption changes the problem environment and makes it
difficult to reproduce the problem. See either the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager
Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
The Cisco Traffic Analyzer must not be used with the PAA in MNM mode.
Caution
