Server)
To perform an internal loopback at the management server (Intrepid
6064 Element Manager application):
1. Notify the customer a disruptive internal loopback test will be
performed on a port or port card. Ensure the customer system
administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the
port or port card, and sets attached devices offline.
NOTE: At the start of the loopback test, the port or port card can be
online, offline, blocked, or unblocked.
NOTE: An optical transceiver (SFP or XFP) must be installed in the port
during the test. A device can remain connected during the test.
2. At the management server, open the SAN management
application (SANavigator or EFCM).
3. At the SAN management application physical map, right-click
the product icon representing the director to be tested, then select
Element Manager from the pop-up menu. The application opens.
4. Select the Port Diagnostics option from the Maintenance menu. The
Port Diagnostics dialog box displays (Figure 4-16).
