Confirming Fabric Device Sharing
NOTE
Fabric device sharing is only available with Trial or Licensed version.
NOTE
Fabric device sharing is only available on pure Fabric OS fabrics.
To confirm that two or more fabrics have been configured to share devices, complete the following
steps.
1. Select Monitor > Troubleshooting > FC > Fabric Device Sharing.
The Fabric Device Sharing Diagnosis dialog box displays.
2. Select the fabrics (two or more) for which you want to confirm device sharing from the Available
Fabrics table.
3. Click the right arrow button.
4. Click OK.
The following checks are performed on the selected fabrics:
• Are the selected fabrics configured with an FC Router?
• Are the selected fabrics connected to the same backbone fabric?
• Is sharing of devices between backbone and edge fabric supported?
The Fabric Device Sharing Diagnosis Results dialog box displays with the details of the fabrics
selected for diagnosis, the details of the tests performed, the results of the test, as well as
short description of the test results.
5. Click Close on the Fabric Device Sharing Diagnosis Results dialog box.
6. Click Cancel on the Fabric Device Sharing Diagnosis dialog box.
Troubleshooting port diagnostics
This feature allows you to run a diagnostic port test and a link traffic test on the selected ports.
Port diagnostics requirements
• Only supported on devices with 10 Gbps-capable D-ports or E-ports running Fabric OS 7.0 or
later. The source and destinationports must be the same.
• Only supported on devices with 16 Gbps-capable E-ports running Fabric OS 7.0 or later.
• Only supported on devices with 16 Gbps-capable F-ports, ICL-ports, and AG N-ports running
Fabric OS 7.1 or later.
• Both the source and destination ports must be managed by the Management application.
ATTENTION
The Management application changes the port type for all selected ports and associated attached
ports to a D port for the duration of the test. This may cause the fabric to segment. When the test is
complete, the Management application changes the port type back to an E port.
