The Command Reference

Description
The D_Port diagnostic is also known as ClearLink. The D_Port diagnostic is run from
the OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter CLI by specifying the d_Port
command.
Parameters
Considerations for running DPort

It is not possible to detect if the switch can run D_Port tests before running the
tests. Therefore, a test failure occurs if the D_Port command is run with a switch
that does not support D_Port.

To terminate tests while they are running, type + . In this case not
results are given.

If the overall test result is FAILED, you must re-run the tests successfully or
reset the HBA port to bring the link back up. A message is displayed instructing
you to perform one of these actions if the overall test result is FAILED.

If a test phase fails, the D_Port tests are automatically stopped. In this case,
some of the phases may not be reported in the results. However, the failed
phase will be reported.

More than one error can be reported. In this case, multiple lines are displayed
for the test phase showing each error.
