Link Test |
The linktest test is delivered with the Storage Automated
Diagnostic Environment software. This test verifies the
functionality for passive FC components in a SAN or DAS
environment. The test will provide failing FRU isolation for
devices which have external loopback tests.
The test will test both ends of the
link segment (if possible) and enter a guided isolation tool
when a failure is detected.
linktest is executed from the view "Diagnose->Test->Test
from Topology" or "Monitor->Monitor Topology->
(Select a topology)" by right clicking on a link segment's
icon. Typically linktest is run when the user detects a
bad or intermittent link via an "alert" or by the visual
detection on the topology graph (a red link).
After starting linktest, the "Test Manager" will be utilized
to guide the user through FRU isolation.
