Description
Use this command to verify the function of the backplane connection of the blades
through the backend external ports. This command is for the StorageWorks Core
switch only. This command is not part of blade diagnostics; it is used to verify
backplane connection by using the blade's frame transmitter/receiver features.
When this test is run, no other diagnostic can be executed until this test completes.
Options
This command has the following operands:
backplanetest
-slot number
Specify the slot number for a StorageWorks Core
switch. For all other switches this operand is not
required. The slot number must be followed by a slash
( / ) and the port number, so that each port is
represented by both slot number (1 through 4, or 7
through 10), and port number (0 through 15).
The StorageWorks Core switch has a total of 10 slots.
Slots number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and
slots 1 through 4, and 7 through 10, are port cards. On
each port card, there are 16 ports counted from the
bottom, 0 to 15.
-passcnt count
Specify the number of times to perform this test. The
default value is 1. This operand is optional.
