Chapter 5 Troubleshooting Mixed Generation Hardware
Generation 1 and Generation 2 Issues
Verifying Bandwidth Utilization in a Port Group Using Device Manager
To verify bandwidth utilization in a port group using Device Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Right-click the module and select Show Port Resources.... to display the Generation 2 module shared
resources configuration.
Module 2
Available dedicated buffers are 5164
Port-Group 1
Total bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps
Total shared bandwidth is 4.8 Gbps
Allocated dedicated bandwidth is 8.0 Gbps
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Interfaces in the Port-Group B2B Credit Bandwidth Rate Mode
Buffers (Gbps)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
fc2/1 16 4.0 shared
fc2/2 16 4.0 shared
fc2/3 16 4.0 shared
fc2/4 16 4.0 shared
fc2/5 16 4.0 dedicated
fc2/6 16 4.0 dedicated
...
In this example, there is not enough available shared bandwidth in Port-Group 1 to switch any more ports
to 4-Gbps dedicated mode.
Step 2 Do one of the following to free up bandwidth for the port that you want to place in dedicated mode.
a. Right-click one or more ports and choose Service > Out to put a port in out-of-service mode to free
up more resources.
b. Right-click a port and select Configure. Lower the port speed.
See the “Dynamic Bandwidth Management” section on page 5-3 for the minimum bandwidth
requirements for port rate modes and port speeds.
