FCoE End to End Echo Test
The end-to-end test enables you send an ECHO command/response sequence between an adapter port
and a target port. (Not available on ESXi systems.)
Error Action
Enables you to define what is to be done in the event of a test failure. There are two error action options:
• Stop Test - Do not log the error and abort the test. No further tests are run.
• Ignore - Log the error and proceed with the next test cycle.
Test Cycles
Enables you to specify test cycles three ways:
• Select an established cycle count by clicking on the corresponding radio button.
• Enter a custom cycle count in the blank field in the Test Cycles area.
• Set the test to run until you manually click Stop Test, by selecting the Infinite radio button.
Test Pattern
Enter a custom test pattern to be used in tests that transfer data. The test pattern can be up to 8
hexadecimal bytes.
Test Status
The Test Status area displays how many completed cycles of each test ran, as well as the number of
errors.
To run loopback tests:
1. From the discovery-tree, select the adapter port on which you want to run the Loopback Test.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab. From the Loopback Test section of the dialog box, choose the type
of Loopback test you want to run and define the loopback test parameters.
3. Click Start. The following warning appears:
Figure 112: Run Diagnostic Tests Warning
Note: Not all remote devices respond to an echo command. You cannot run the ECHO test
and the External Loopback test concurrently. If you select the ECHO Test the
External Loopback test is disabled.
Note: You must insert a loopback plug in the selected adapter before running an External
Loopback test. Also, you must ensure that the NIC function of the port goes to a link
up state. See the Troubleshooting section if the NIC link fails to come up.
