Level Name Functionality Description
Interface Test Performs tests to verify that Fibre Channel controllers on I/O blades are responsive
to commands.
Device Datapath
Test
Performs tests at the Interface Test level, and also performs a device inquiry on each
target device.
The data path from I/O blade to the drive must
experience problems for two period intervals
before a problem is detected and a ticket is
generated.
• The datapath conditioning time interval you
configure in the LMC, which is from an I/O
blade to drive, is not the same as the data path
check that occurs between the I/O blade and a
host. The latter time interval is configured by
means of HRS and it is hard coded. The default
time interval for Windows is five minutes. You
must disconnect the drive for at least five
minutes to know you have triggered the ticket.
