While the TC2201E's current, previous, and last assert trace data does provide a complete summary of events in a chronological fashion, SCSI Command Tracking adds the ability to filter the trace data to show only the information related to the processing of specific SCSI commands. Figure 56 SCSI Command Tracking 82 Quantum TC2201E User's Guide Chapter 3 Quantum Visual Manager Main Menu · SCSI Command Tracking can be toggled to ON or OFF.

Logged data can be defined according to the Protocol (FC, Other, or ALL), Type (Device, Host, or ALL), and Value (ID or ALL). For the ID, this can be a specific FC LUN or Switch ID (S_ID) or some other specific value. Selecting the Submit button activates the settings for Protocol, Type, and Value.
