Synopsis: V3.1.x spinFab [nMillionFrames [, ePortBeg[, ePortEnd[, failmode]]]] Synopsis: V4.1.x spinfab [-nmegs count][-ports list][-setfail mode] [-domain value] Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Used to verify the intended functional operation of the ISL links between switches at the maximum speed of 2 Gbps by setting up the routing hardware such that test frames received by each E_Port are retransmitted on the same E_Port.
  • Page 769 spinFab The frames are continuously transmitted and received to all ports in parallel. The port LEDs flicker green rapidly while the test is running. While the frames are circulating, the RX frame count and port CRC and encoder error statistics are monitored and errors will be generated if a port stops or a low level error occurs.
  • Page 770 Fabric OS Commands Operands This command has the following operands: Number of million frames to send. The test will progress nMillionFrames (V3.1.x only) until the specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The default value for nmill is 10, so the number of frames sent will be at least 10 million.
  • Page 771 spinFab This parameter may be used to cause spinfab to mark -setfail mode (V4.1.x only) failing ports as bad. Specify a value 1 to mark failing ports as BAD, specify a value of 0 to not mark failed ports as bad. To minimize the impact on live fabrics this test normally logs errors but does not set the port status to FAILED.
  • Page 772 Fabric OS Commands Example In the following examples ports 0-3 are active ISL links. Port 4 is an F-Port so the test skips it (V3.1.x example): switch:admin> setdbg “DIAG”, 0 switch:admin> spinfab 3,0,4 spinFab running... spinFab: Completed 3 megs, status: passed.
