Statistics. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager provides statistics for each
host and adapter port. These statistics can be collected automatically
or on request. You can reset statistics at any time. In addition, you can
export the statistics to a comma separated values (CSV) file, which
can be imported into other applications, for example, Microsoft®
Excel.
Adapter diagnostics. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager provides end-to-end
diagnostics that enable you to test the adapters and the devices to which
they are connected. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager diagnostics allow you to
do the following:
Test the link status of each adapter and its attached devices.
Perform a loopback test, which is external to the adapter, to evaluate
the ports (transmit and receive transceivers) on the adapter and the
error rate.
Perform a read/write buffer test, which tests the link between the
adapter and its attached devices.
Run diagnostics on small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers per
SFF-8472 Specification for Diagnostic Monitoring Interface for Optical
Xcvrs, Revision 9.3 August 1, 2002.
