Display test results

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the advanced privilege level.

Description

The network test-link show command displays the results of prior network test-link run-test commands.

The test results are stored non-persistently and can be viewed using the network test-link show command. Results include input parameters, date and time of the test, bandwidth achieved and the number of streams used.

Parameters

[-fields <fieldname>,…​]

If you specify the -fields <fieldname>, …​ parameter, the command output also includes the specified field or fields. You can use '-fields ?' to display the fields to specify.

| [-instance ] (privilege: advanced) }

If you specify the -instance parameter, the command displays detailed information about all fields.

-node {<nodename>|local} - Node (privilege: advanced)

Selects the nodes that match this parameter value. Use this parameter to display the test results specific to a node. By default, the test results across all nodes are shown.

-vserver <vserver> - Vserver (privilege: advanced)

Use this parameter to display the test results specific to a Vserver. Use DC (Data Channel) Vserver option only in an ONTAP Select or Cloud Volumes ONTAP cluster to show network performance of links hosting DC LIFs. DC Vserver is a special Vserver that hosts LIFs that are used to mirror data aggregates to partner node

[-destination <Remote InetAddress>] - Destination (privilege: advanced)

Use this parameter to display the test results associated with the specified destination.

[-timestamp <MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS>] - Time of Test (privilege: advanced)

Use this parameter to display the test results with the specified timestamp.

[-bandwidth <double>] - MB/s (privilege: advanced)

Use this parameter to display the test results only matching the specified bandwidth.

[-num-streams <integer>] - Number of Streams (privilege: advanced)

Use this parameter to display the test results only matching the specified number of streams.

Examples

The following example runs a test between the cluster LIFs twice and then demonstrates the show command results:

cluster1::*> network test-link run-test -node node2 -vserver Cluster -destination 172.31.112.173 -num-streams 4
