Which of the following actions is the best way to start troubleshooting this problem?

You have a customer with an MDS fabric that is experiencing a performance problem. You
suspect that the problem is due to a BB credit starvation issue with a host HBA. The customer has
both a DS-PAA-2 and a Fibre Channel Analyzer on location. You want to collect a trace and look
at the R_RDY flows between the MDS and the host. Which of the following actions is the best way

at the R_RDY flows between the MDS and the host. Which of the following actions is the best way
to start troubleshooting this problem?

A.
Collect a Fibre Channel Analyzer local brief trace on the MDS and look for missing R_RDYs.

B.
Collect a Fibre Channel Analyzer local trace with full detail on the MDS, because the detail is
needed to examine the R_RDY flow.

C.
Use the DS-PAA-2 and the MDS span feature to capture a trace and examine the R_RDY flow
between the host and MDS.

D.
Use the Finisar and the MDS span feature to capture a trace because the DS-PAA-2 cannot
decode R_RDYs.

E.
Break the physical connection between the host and MDS and insert the Fibre Channel
Analyzer inline.
