Displaying frame monitors
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor --show command.
The following example displays the existing frame types and associated bit patterns on the switch.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --show
FRAME_TYPE BIT PATTERN
----------------------------------------
scsi 12,0xFF,0x08;
scsiread 12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x08,0x28;
scsiwrite 12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x08,0x28,0x0A,0x2A;
scsirw 12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x08,0x28,0x0A,0x2A;
scsi2reserve 12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x16,0x56;
scsi3reserve 12,0xFF,0x08;4,0xFF,0x06;40,0xFF,0x5F;41,0xFF,0x01
ip 12,0xFF,0x05;
abts 4,0xFF,0x81;40,0xFF,0x81;12,0xFF,0x0;17,0xFF,0x0;
baacc 4,0xff,0x84;12,0xff,0x00;17,0xff,00;
The following example displays configuration details for the predefined SCSI frame monitor. Notice
that in the last entry, the "-" in the Count column indicates that the monitor is configured, but is not
installed on the port.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --show SCSI
Port|Frame Type |Count |HIGH Thres|Actions |TIMEBASE |CFG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
000001|scsi |0x0000000000000123|1000 |Email |None |saved
000002|scsi |0x0000000000000125|1000 |Email |None |saved
000003|scsi |0x0000000000000143|1000 |Email |None |saved
000022|scsi |- |0 |None |None |saved
The following example displays values for the predefined SCSI frame monitor on port 5 every 5
seconds.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --show scsi -port 5 -timeinterval 5
Port|Count |

Clearing frame monitor counters
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.
2. Enter the fmMonitor --clear command to clear the counters on the ports on which the specified
frame type is monitored.
The following example clears the counters for the ABTS monitor from ports 7 through 10.
switch:admin> fmmonitor --clear ABTS -port 7-10
Top Talker monitors
Top Talker monitors determine the flows (SID and DID pairs) that are the major users of bandwidth
(after initial stabilization). Top Talker monitors measure bandwidth usage data in real time and relative
to the port on which the monitor is installed.
