fcpRlsProbe

fcpRlsProbe
Initiates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) Read Link Status (RLS) probing for F_Port and displays the
RLS information.
SYNOPSIS
fcpRlsProbe --start [slot/]port_list
fcpRlsProbe --show [slot/]port
fcpRlsProbe --help
DESCRIPTION
Use this command to initiate the FCP RLS probing or to display the RLS information. This information
describes the number of link failures, loss-of-signal, loss-of-sync, CRC errors, and other failure events
detected on the specified port.
Use the fcprlsprobe --start command to read the error status block for F/FL-Ports. This command will
send a RLS ELS probe to the device on the specified port and caches the RLS information.
Use the fcprlsprobe --show command to display the cached RLS information. For the command to send
RLS probe to the device you must enable the following parameter: Disable Device Probing = 0 (Enables
device probing. By default Device probing is enabled).
For this command to gather and display F_Port error statistics, apart from enabling the device probing,
you must enable RLS Probing using the fcprlsprobe --start command or use the configure command,
"Disable RLS Probing". By default, RLS probing is disabled.
NOTES
The cached RLS information will be provided in supportsave. To have the updated RLS information for a
specified port or port range in supportsave, execute fcpRlsProbe --start successfully before initiating
the supportsave.
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.

--show
Displays the RLS information.
--help
Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES
To start the RLS probing:
switch:admin> fcprlsprobe --start 1
RLS probing initiated...
Please use the fcprlsprobe --show port command to view the RLS info.
