OPERANDS --linkreset slot/blade_port
Performs a link reset on the specified front-end or backend blade port. The blade
port number can be located in the "Bpt" column output of the bladePortMap
command. The bladeportmap command requires root permissions.
fmMonitor
The portlog value for the -action parameter is not supported and has be removed from the man page in
Fabric OS v7.0.2. It should be removed from all printed versions of the v7.0.x Command Reference
manual.
perfHelp
The fmConfig command has been added to the output of the perfHelp command.
serDesTuneMode
This command has been enhanced with new operands to support an automated tuning process to fix
CRC errors. The man page has been updated as follows; only the additions are shown below.
NAME Configures and displays SerDes tuning parameters.
SYNOPSIS serdestunemode --autoenable
serdestunemode --autodisable
serdestunemode --autoreset
serdestunemode --autoshow
DESCRIPTION Use this command to configure and display SerDes values on the Brocade FC8-16 and to control tuning
optimization of backend links for all Brocade FC8-xx blades.
When used with the --autoset, --autodisable, --autoreset and --autoshow options, this command
configures tuning optimization for backend SerDes errors. SerDes tuning optimization is indicated when
you receive RASLog errors of type C2-5825 indicating a CRC error with a good EOF. Brocade highly
recommends that you contact your service provider if you encounter such errors. If the error appears to
be an isolated incident, you may enable auto SerDes tuning for a short period of time (24-48 hours) to
see if this resolves the problem. Then disable the function to reduce the risk of resetting register values
unnecessarily if single occurrence errors are encountered. If the errors persist contact your service
provider.
OPERANDS --autoset Enables SerDes tuning optimization on all backend ports.
--autodisable Disables further tuning optimization but retains all current tuning values identified
by the algorithm.
--autoreset Disables further tuning optimization and resets all tuning values back to their
default values. If SerDes tune mode or was set, the co figuration is restored.
--autoshow Displays whether SerDes tuning optimization is enabled or disabled.
