Trace Overview

A typical Trace scenario follows:

1. The Trace Controls Window shows a list of Trace Enable Flags with a

checkbox for each. When you enter this window the boxes are all un-

checked. Click the check-box(es) to select (check) one or more of the Trace

functions.

2. Press the Clear button to clear the Trace Buffer.

3. Press the Set Flags button to apply the selected Trace Enables to the Switch.

This activates the selected Trace operations in the Switch. At this point the

Switch is logging the progress of the enabled Trace functions into the Trace

Buffer.

The QLogic support engineer may have you perform a specific operation like

attempt a login from a node connected to the Switch or communicate

between devices interconnected through the Switch.

4. Press the Retrieve button to save the Trace Buffer to a file.

5. To disable all Trace functions in the Switch, press the Set Flags button with

all Trace functions disabled (not checked). This disables all Trace functions

in the Switch. After disabling all the Trace functions in the Switch, you may

press the Get Flags button just to make sure the list comes back from the

Switch with all the Trace functions clear (not checked).

6. QLogic Customer Support will explain how and where to send the file of the

Diagnostics Trace Buffer.
