portLedTest

Cycles user port LEDs.

SYNOPSIS

portledtest
[--slot slot_number]
[-ports itemlist]
[-uports itemlist]
[-npass count]
[-action value]

ceeportledtest
[--slot slot_number]
[-ports itemlist]
[-npass count]
[-action value]

DESCRIPTION

Use this command to exercise the user port LEDs in the current switch. When used without a port
specifier, all user ports are tested.

For each port, the command cycles through the ON and OFF state by setting the ATTN LEDs to green for
the ON condition and unlighted for the OFF condition. The SPEED LEDs are initially set to black before
the test starts. The SPEED LEDs turn green while the test is running.

portLedTest and ceePortLedTest are platform-specific versions of the same test. Use ceePortLedTest
on FCoE platforms only. Use fcipLedTest for GbE port testing on the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24. On all
other platforms, use portLedTest.

This diagnostic cannot be run on an operational switch. You must disable the switch using the
chassisDisable command before you can run this test. After the command completes, the ATTN LEDs
flash amber, indicating that the command has finished and exited. Enable the switch using the
chassisEnable command to set the ATTN LEDs back to black.

NOTES

You cannot interrupt the test by pressing the return key ().

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:

--slot slot

Specifies the slot number on bladed systems. When used without the port option,
this option exercises all user ports in the specified slot. When used with the port
option, only the ports specified for the specified slot are tested.

-ports itemlist

Specifies a list of front-end blade ports to test. When a specific port is specified,
the blade port reference is used. If you want to test a specific user port, you will
need root access to the bladePortMap command to map the specified blade port
to the desired user port. You can also use the -uports option to specify the user
ports. Refer to itemList for more information on the itemlist parameter. When
specifying ports on a chassis, the -ports operand must be preceded by the --slot
operand.

-uports itemlist

Specifies a list of user ports to test. If this operand is omitted, by default the test
will run on all valid blade ports in the slot. Refer to itemList for more information
on the itemlist parameter. This option is only available for Condor3 blades.
