spinFab
2
1
Marks the failing ports as FAILED. In test or qualification environments without live
traffic, this may be useful with large values of -nmegs count. This mode is
disabled by default.
-fports flag
Instructs spinFab to include or exclude F_Ports in the testing. This feature is
disabled by default. If enabled, spinFab tests the F_Ports connected to
Brocade-branded HBAs along with other valid ports (E-ports & Loopback ports).
The HBA must be running firmware v2.1.1 or higher. Valid flag values include the
following:
0
Does not include F_Ports in the port list for testing (default).
1
Includes F_Ports in the port list for testing.
-nframes count
Determines how many frames will be sent by spinfab on the link to spin. Default is
2. The maximum number is 5. If you want to configure more than 5 use -nframes
0.
-pattern name
Forces spinfab to use a particular data pattern for the frames it spins between
ports. The pattern can be a user defined pattern or is selected from a set of twenty
five predefined pattern types. Use the datatypeshow command to view the
predefined patterns supported with spinfab. For each pattern, the datatypeshow
command displays the name, the pattern type number, and an example. Specify
the pattern by its name after the -pattern option. If pattern is not specified, it
defaults to jCRPAT (type=17). To use a user defined pattern, follow the -pattern
option with a 32 bit hexadecimal number.
-timeout count
Defines a time limit (in seconds) for the running of spinfab. Spinfab will keep track
of how long the test has run and stop testing once the timeout limit has been
reached. The overall accuracy will be in the tens of seconds.
DIAGNOSTICS
When it detects failures, the test may report one or more of the following error messages. If errors
persist, contact Technical Support.
