The portLogDump command output (trace) is a powerful tool that is used to troubleshoot fabric issues.
The portLogDump output provides detailed information about the actions and communications within a
fabric. By understanding the processes that are taking place in the fabric, issues can be identified and
located.
The portLogDump command displays the port log, showing a portion of the Fibre Channel payload and
header (FC-PH). The header contains control and addressing information associated with the frame. The
payload contains the information being transported by the frame and is determined by the higher-level
service or FC_4 upper level protocol. There are many different payload formats based on the protocol.
