General device diagnostics

A device diagnostic wizard is available to check communication problems that might arise between

devices in the same fabric, or devices shared through FC Routers. The wizard checks the following

items:

• device status

• switch port health status

• zone configuration in the fabric

• active DCC policy availability in secure fabric

• active DCC policy availability in non-secure fabric

• LSAN zone configurations in the edge fabrics

• device moved to a new fabric

• fabric segmentation

• FC router physical connection status

The wizard displays a summary diagnostic report that you can print. The wizard also provides an

option to capture trace route information (pathinfo and fcping) for the selected device ports. See

“Trace route” on page 343 for information about the trace route functionality.

NOTE

You can diagnose only two device ports at a time.

This tool is not supported for Admin Domain-aware fabrics or for virtual targets and initiators in an

iSCSI Target Gateway.
