Running End-to-End Echo Tests

Running End-to-End (ECHO) Tests

You run echo tests using the "End-to-End (ECHO) Test" section of the Diagnostics tab. The end-to-end test enables you send an ECHO command/response sequence between an HBA port and a target port.

Note

Not all remote devices respond to an echo command.

You cannot run the ECHO test and the External Loopback test concurrently. If you select the ECHO Test the External Loopback test is disabled.

To run end-to-end echo tests:

Start HBAnyware.
From the discovery-tree, select the HBA from which you wish to initiate the End-to-End (ECHO) Test.
Select the Diagnostics tab. Click Advanced Diagnostics Test.
Check Echo Test. Enter the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) for the target.

Click Select From List if you do not know the actual WWPN of the test target. The Select Echo Test Target dialog box appears. Select the port you wish to test from the tree-view and click Select. All relevant information for the selected port is automatically added to the Target Identifier section of the Diagnostics dialog box.

Click Start. The following warning window appears:

Click OK. A result screen appears and the test results are displayed in the Test Log. Click Clear to erase the contents of the log display or click Save to File to save the log file.
