Goal

How to collect Solaris Fibre Channel (FC) HBA card and Protocol dump/buffer/trace debug data.

If FC HBA extended debug logging was not already enabled when a issue occurred then Oracle Fibre channel (FC) HBA card dump/buffer data MAY contain relevant messages that can aid troubleshooting FC connectivity issues.

NOTE: For procedure to enable FC HBA extended debug logging see "Related Knowledge Base Documents" listed at end of this document.

 

The Oracle Solaris Fibre Channel (FC) HBA card and Protocol dump/buffer/trace debug data only contain FC HBA related messages unlike /var/adm/messages files.

But has less available space compared to /var/adm/messages files.

So collecting OracleSolaris Fibre Channel (FC) HBA card and Protocol dump/buffer/trace debug data should be done as soon as possible after the issue occured before relevant data is lost.

 

NOTE: Oracle Solaris Fibre Channel (FC) HBA card and Protocol dump/buffer/trace debug data may list false-positive messages so they are ONLY to be evaluated in context with other events on the server when the issue re-occurs and only by Oracle support personnel.
