Fabric OS Command Reference 219

fcPing
2
--pattern pattern Specifies up to 16 "pad" bytes, which are used to fill out the request frame
payload sent. This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in the
fabric link. The pattern bytes are specified as hexadecimal characters. For
example, --pattern ff fills the request frame with instances of the number 1.
If a non-byte aligned pattern is specified, the upper nibble of the last pattern
byte is filled with zeros. For example, --pattern 123 fills the payload with a
pattern of 0x1203.
--bypasszone Bypasses the zone check.
--quiet Suppresses the diagnostic output. Only zoning information, if applicable, and
the summary line are displayed.
source Specifies the source port ID, port WWN, or node WWN. This operand is
optional.
destination Specifies the destination. When using fcPing between a source and a
destination, specify the destination as a port WWN or a node WWN. When
using fcPing to ping a single device, specify the destination as a switch WWN,
a domain ID, or a switch domain controller ID.
--help Displays the command usage.
Examples To display one device that accepts the request and another device that rejects the request:
