Issuing a ping command to end points through BCU
Use the fcdiag --fcping BCU command to test the connection to a Fibre Channel end point.
fcdiag -–fcping <port_id> <rpwwn> [-l lpwwn]
where:
port_id
ID of the adapter port from which you want to ping the remote port. This could
be the PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could
also be the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port
1, you would use 1/1 as the port identification.
rpwwn
Remote PWWN that you want to ping.
lpwwn
Logical PWWN. 0 indicates the base port.
Issuing a ping command to end points through HCM
Use the FC Protocol Tests tab on the Diagnostics dialog box to test the connection to Fibre Channel
end points. Use the following steps to ping end points.
1. Launch the HCM.
2. Select Configure > Diagnostics to display the Diagnostics dialog box.
3. Click the FC Protocol Tests tab.
4. Select FC Ping Test.
5. Select the adapter port and target that you wish to ping.
6. Enter a test cycle if applicable.
7. Click Start.
Adapter temperature
Use the BCU diag --tempshow command to read the adapter’s temperature sensor registers.
diag --tempshow <ad_id>
where:
ad_id
ID of adapter.
Queue test
Use BCU commands and the HCM to send a health check message from the host to the firmware
through message queues memory mapped over the PCI.
