Using the spinFab and portTest commands

Debugging spinFab errors
Link errors and transmit or receive errors are seen when the spinFab test fails.
Link errors
Once the frame is sent out of the port, the spinFab command monitors the link errors in the ASIC.
If any of the error counters are non-zero, spinFab reports an error and the test fails on the port.

If you receive any of the link errors, follow the suggested debugging procedures:
• The spinFab command does not clear any existing error counters before running the test. You
should first clear all error counters and rerun the spinFab command.
• Verify that the link comes up by enabling and disabling the local or remote ports.
• Verify that the source of the error is either the local port or the remote port. This can be done
by monitoring the port statistics on both ends simultaneously. Refer to “Displaying the port
statistics” on page 91 for more information on how to display the statistics for a port.
