Diagnostics
Performing a memory test through HCM

Use the 1. 2. dialog box to perform a memory test. Launch the HCM. Select tab. .
3. Click the 4. 5. 6. Select
You can specify the test cycle using a positive number. Click .
HBA temperature
Use the BCU
d ia g -- t em p sh o w < ad _ id >
command to read the adapters temperature sensor registers.
ad_id - Serial number of adapter.

QoS and target rate limiting settings

Target rate limiting throttles the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) read traffic rate to slow-draining targets to reduce or eliminate network congestion and alleviate I/O slowdowns to faster targets. Quality of Service (QoS) works in conjunction with the QoS feature on Brocade switches to assign traffic priority (high, medium (default), low) to a given source and destination traffic flow. Use the following BCU commands and HCM to determine current status and configuration for these features.
