Internal Loopback
Test (Management
Server)
To perform an internal loopback at the management server (Sphereon
4500 Element Manager application):
1. Notify the customer that a disruptive internal loopback test is to
be performed. Ensure the customer’s system administrator
quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the port, and sets the
attached device offline.
NOTE: A small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver must be
installed in the port during the test. A device can remain connected
during the test.
2. At the management server, open the SAN management
application (SANavigator 4.0 or EFCM 8.0).
3. At the SAN management application’s physical map, right-click
the product icon representing the switch to be tested, then select
Element Manager from the pop-up menu. The application opens.
4. Select the Port Diagnostics option from the Maintenance menu. The
Port Diagnostics dialog box displays (Figure 4-26 on page 4-42).
