Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide 9.4 Using FC Trace Route FC Trace Route allows you to trace the communication route for FC packets transmitted between an FC initiator port and an FC target port. Communication route information, such as the switch name, domain ID, ingress and egress port name, and ingress and egress physical port number, is accumulated for all switch ports through which packets are routed.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide Figure 66: FC Trace Route Dialog 3. The Target Port list displays the WWPNs of all targets that are seen by the initiator port. Select a target port and click Start. The FC Trace Route dialog displays trace route information for the selected initiator and target ports (Figure 67). NOTE: Error messages are displayed if there was a problem processing the FC trace route request.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide Egress Port Name – The port WWN of the physical port through which an FC packet exits a specific switch. Egress Physical Port Number – The physical port number of the port through which an FC packet exits a specific switch. 9.5 Running a POST The power-on self-test (POST) is a firmware test that is normally performed on an adapter after a reset or restart. The POST does not require any configuration to run.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide 9.7 Setting Up Diagnostic Test Options Setting up test options includes error actions, test cycle counts, and test patterns. 9.7.1 Setting Up a Test Failure Error Action Two error action options are available in the event of a test failure: Stop Test – Does not log the error and aborts the test. No further tests are run. Ignore – Logs the error and proceeds with the next test cycle. 9.7.

Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide Chapter 10: Generating and Installing Secured Certificates OCMNG is a web application, based on a client-server model, that runs on the Apache Tomcat Web Server. Data is exchanged between the client (browser) and the server (on a remote machine), which requires a secure user logon to manage Emulex adapters on different and multiple hosts. 10.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide If a self-signed certificate is used in place of an SSL, a popup is displayed in the browser before accessing the server content. For Java-based applications, a self-signed certificate can be generated using the tools provided by Java. This creates a keystore file that must be installed on the web server. This keystore includes a private key specific to the server used for generating a CSR and authenticating the server.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide 10.2.1 Generating a CSR for a Server Using the Java Tool To generate a CSR for a server, use the Java tool available in the jre/bin folder. The syntax using the Java tool follows: keytool -certreq -keyalg name> -alias -file -keystore
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide 10.2.4 Installing the SSL into the Web Server When you receive the SSL certificate from the CA, you must install the SSL certificate on the server to accept the secure connections. NOTE: The CSR must be generated on the same machine that the server is running on. The SSL certificate must also be installed on this same server. 10.2.4.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide 2. Open the file ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/server.xml in a text editor. 3. Uncomment the SSL Connector Configuration. 4. Make sure that the keystorePass matches the password for the keystore and that the keystoreFile contains the path and file name of the keystore. Your connector should be displayed similar to the following: PAGE 98Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide Chapter 11: Troubleshooting This chapter includes information about certificate or insecure-content warnings that might be displayed on the console. This chapter also describes unexpected circumstances and some proposed solutions. 11.1 Security OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter can be installed on different machines. As a result, certificate or insecurecontent warnings can occur.
Emulex OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Guide Figure 74: Blocked Content in the Firefox or Chrome Browser 11.1.2 Installing a Security Certificate A permanent solution to the security warnings is to install the correct security certificate. To install a security certificate, perform these steps: 1. Open Internet Explorer in Administrative mode. 2. Load the plug-in URL, and accept the certificate warning.
