NOTES
The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.
OPERANDS
This command has the following operands:
destination_switch
source_port
destination_port
"-r"
-t
-sid source_pid
-did destination_pid
--help
When executed without operands, pathInfo runs interactively. Specifying a destination switch is required;
the values for the source and destination ports can be -1 to indicate the embedded port. You must specify
the source and destination PID to display the correct TI-enabled path information across the FCR.
Reverse-path tracing is optional. In addition, this command prompts for the following parameters:
Max hops
Fabric Id
Domain|Wwn|Name
Fabric OS Command Reference
53-1002746-01
Specifies the destination switch. To obtain path info in a Layer 2 fabric, the
destination switch can be identified by its Domain ID, by the switch WWN, or by
the switch name. To obtain path info across remote fabrics connected through an
FC Router, the destination switch must be identified by its Domain ID. Identifying
the switch by name or WWN is not accepted. This operand is optional; if omitted,
the command prompts for input interactively.
Specifies the port whose path to the destination domain is traced, specified as the
port index. The embedded port (-1) is the default. The embedded port can be
selected manually by entering the value of MAX_PORT. MAX_PORT stands for
the maximum number of ports supported by the local switch.
Specifies the port on the destination switch for the path being traced. This operand
returns the state of this port. The embedded port (-1) is used by default, or if you
specify a destination port that is not active. The destination is specified as the port
index.
Displays the reverse path in addition to the forward path. This operand is optional.
Displays the command output in traceroute format. When this operand is used,
only routing information is displayed. The output includes the time it takes, in
microseconds, to reach each hop. Basic and extended statistics are not available
in the traceroute format.
Specifies the source ID of the originator device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD
is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID.
Specifies the destination ID of the proxy device in "0xDDAAPP" format, where DD
is domain ID, AA is area ID and PP is AL_PA ID. You can view the proxy device
IDs using the nsAllShow command.
Displays the command usage.
The maximum number of hops that the pathInfo frame is allowed to traverse; the
default is 25.
Specifies the Fabric ID. If unspecified, the value defaults to -1 (Default switch FID
128)
Specifies the domain ID or WWN.
