Dell 36XX, 34XX, 38XX Check Storage Array Connectivity, SnapVirtualDisk, VirtualDiskCopy, Target

Parameter	Description
snapVirtualDisk	The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of
	the snapshot virtual disk on which to run a
	consistency check. Enclose the snapshot virtual
	disk identifier in square brackets ([ ]).
virtualDisk	The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of
	the thin virtual disk on which to run a consistency
	check. Enclose the virtual disk identifier in square

Check Storage Array Connectivity

Description

This command verifies that the local storage array and the remote storage array have a communication path and displays the connection details between the local and remote storage array.

Before creating a remote replication group, you should check whether the local storage array and the remote storage array can communicate with each other. When you execute this command, the system queries for the remote storage array on all eligible host ports to determine what ports are connected to the remote storage array. The result of the test is a list of all ports on the local storage array along with a list of the remote storage array port addresses accessible through that port.

NOTE: Connectivity is tested using all possible channels, and if it is a dual RAID controller module configuration, connectivity is checked from each RAID controller module. It might take up to 20 minutes to check connectivity between two storage arrays.

Syntax

check storageArray connectivity (remoteStorageArrayName="storageArrayName" remoteStorageArrayWwid=<wwID>)
