To do a loopback test using the current parameters, type:
# scli --kl (<hba instance> | <hba wwpn>)
To do a loopback test with custom parameters, type:
# scli --kl (<hba instance> | <hba wwpn>) [(<param name> |
<param alias>) <param value>]
Section “-kl (Loopback Test)” on page 4-20 describes the parameters and their
default values.
The following examples do 500 loopback tests with a test increment of 10, a data
pattern of FFh, and a data size of 8 bytes. The test stops if an error occurs.
# scli -kl <hba wwpn> DP FF DS 8 TC 500 TI 10 OE 1
NOTE:
The loopback test is disabled if you are using the drivers from the OS
installation and not functional on the QLE8042 adapter.
NOTE:
Run an echo test instead of a loopback test under the following conditions:
You have a QLA23xx, QLA24xx, QLE23xx, or QLE24xx adapter that is
connected to the fabric through a point-to-point connection (F_Port).
The adapter is connected to a switch.
