status
Displays the status of a test in progress, or if there is no test in progress, the status of the test that
was executed last.
Examples
To run Internal (SerDes) or External (SFP) port tests, complete the following steps:
1. To start an admin session, type the following command:
admin start
2. Place the port in Diagnostics mode by typing the following command (x = port number):
set port x state diagnostics
3. Insert the loopback plug into the SFP on the selected port (for external port test only).
4. Choose one of the two types of port loopback tests to run:
• To run an internal loopback test, type the following command:
test x internal
• To run an external loopback test, type the following command. A loopback plug must be
installed for this test to pass.
test x external
NOTE
The external loopback test can be performed only on external switch module ports.
After the test type has been chosen and the command executed, a message on the screen will
appear detailing the test results.
5. After the test is run, put the port back into online state by typing the following command (x =
port number):
set port x state online
6. To verify the port is back online, type the following command. The contents of the AdminState
field should be Online.
show port x
The online
The online node-to-node test can test only one port at a time, and that port must be online and
connected to an external device or a blade server Fibre Channel expansion card. To run the online
node-to-node test, complete the following steps:
1. To start an admin session, type the following command:
admin start
2. To run the online node-to-node test, type the following command:
test x online
A series of test parameters are displayed on the screen.
3. Press the Enter key to accept each default parameter value, or type a new value for each
parameter and press the Enter key. The TestLength parameter is the number of frames sent, the
FrameSize (256 byte maximum in some cases) parameter is the number of bytes in each frame,
and the DataPattern parameter is the pattern in the payload. Before running the test, make sure
that the device attached to the port can handle the test parameters.
