This operation can take several minutes. NOTE: supportSave will transfer existing trace dump file first, then automatically generate and transfer latest one. There will be two trace dump files transferred after this command. OK to proceed?

Troubleshooting
Bottleneck Detection
Use the bottleneckmon command to detect latency and congestion bottlenecks on F[L]_Ports and E_Ports. The bottleneckmon command detects slow drain devices (F_Ports) at the egress side of the port.

Discover WWNs on NPIV
portshow 13 or nsshow #(the alpa part of the FID would change and Domain and Area part would remain the same for each WWN for port 13) portLoginShow #shows all WWNs logged into fabric on a given physical port. nsZoneMember #might tell you with what other devices your host WWN can communicate. #If you know device WWN you can further identify it with nodeFind command.

Brocade Fabric Switch how to
级联
1、新增交换机升级firmware v7.X
2、初始化，设置新增交换机管理IP、修改domain id
3、完成当前和新增交换机光纤连接(ISL 级联）
4、执行如下命令检查级联情况：
DS300B:admin> switchshow
DS300B:admin > islshow
DS300B:admin > fabricshow
(通常状况下服务器及存储与交换机连接时端口的状态是N_Port，如果交换机级联成功端口状态会变成E-Port，主交换机后面会标有 (UPstream)，下级交换机会显示 (downstream)状态);
5、按规划完成FC光纤链接；
6、交换机级联后，当前交换机和新增交换机ZONE会自动同步
7、登陆任意一交换机，进行ZONE添加设置保存，并enable ZONE config,(在线操作对生产环境应有些影响）;

Zoning between two Brocade 300 SAN switches via ISL
1. with fabricshow, you should see both switchs in the same fabric. 2. the port-based zones, are refered by <domain, port>. So, check the Brocade FOS command reference guide for the exact command, but in short, the zone member refering port 5 in a switch with DID 3 would be <3,5> An example of a zone with two members: port 1 in the old switch and port 5 in the new one. SWITCH:admin> zonecreate "ZONE1", "2,1; 3,5"
