Quick Identification and resolution of SAN Problems with Xgig Expert

Expert is an important component of the Xgig Software Suite. Used in conjunction with TraceView (figure 1), the application used to review trace data, Expert provides a unique, robust set of debugging and analysis tools that seamlessly interact with and expand the functionality of the Analyzer.

Expert augments the original traces captured by Xgig automatically. For example, if a trace contains valid SCSI exchanges, the trace is augmented with a single line event that represents the completion of the entire SCSI exchange. This event includes vital exchange statistics and metrics, some of the user data, the SCSI status and the SCSI Sense Data where applicable.
