When trunk groups are present, the entire trunk group must be included in the range of ports to
test or false failures can occur. If multiple ISL links are present between two switches that support
trunking, then it is likely that trunk groups are present and all ports between the two switches
should be tested at the same time.
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:
-nmegs count Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The test progresses until
the specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The
default value is 10 million frames. This command only approximately counts
the frames and the actual number of frames sent will be slightly larger,
particularly at link speeds of 4 Gbps or higher.
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the ISL ports in the
current switch are tested. Refer to itemList for further details.
-setfail mode Instructs spinFab how to mark failed ports. Valid values are:
0 Does not mark failing ports as FAILED (default). This option minimizes the
impact on live fabrics.
1 Marks the failing ports as FAILED. In test or qualification environments
without live traffic, this may be useful with large values of -nmegs count. This
mode is disabled by default.
Examples To test cascading ISLs:
switch:admin> spinfab -ports 1/0 - 1/2
spinfab running...
spinfab: Completed 11 megs, status: passed.
port 0 test status: 0x00000000 -- passed.
port 1 test status: 0x00000000 -- passed.
port 2 test status: 0x00000000 -- passed.
Test Complete: "spinfab" Pass 10 of 10
Duration 0 hr, 0 min & 41 sec (0:0:41:877).
passed.
Diagnostics When it detects failures, the test may report one or more of the following error messages. If errors
persist, contact Technical Support.
