• Expert protocol analysis tools are used to take a deeper look into FC and iSCSI transactions:
– Automatically flag protocol-level errors – Identify buffer credit issues, such as “FC droop” – Identify problems that relate to Ordered Sets
• These tools provide features that help you resolve errors
Expert protocol analysis tools are used to take a deeper look into FC and iSCSI transactions. Their purpose is to help troubleshooters identify protocol- level errors or deviations from standards in the traffic. You might consider using these tools when you suspect that a protocol-level problem, such as an interoperability issue, is causing further problems.
Like protocol analyzers, expert analysis tools rely on captured traces, but expert analysis tools go a step further by automatically identifying errors and providing features that help you resolve those errors more quickly. For example, expert analysis tools can:
