3.Observe the CN switch and CNA link error counters.

If any of these steps detect errors, the most likely causes are incompatible or faulty cables, SFPs, or CN switch ports. Cable or SFP problems can cause a wide range of symptoms from solid to intermittent and even performance issues. The FCoE switch port and CNA port error counters are good indications of potential intermittent and performance problems.

Verify Fibre Channel switch zoning for FC storage

Verify that the Fibre Channel zoning and the CNA port WWNs match those displayed by the CNA.

Verify Fibre Channel storage device discovery

After verifying startup BIOS message, link, and zoning, verify that the CNA can discover the configured Fibre Channel storage devices.

The first level of CNA Fibre Channel storage device discovery is performed at the BIOS level using the OneConnect FCoE BIOS utility. Use this utility (see “CNA startup BIOS message”
