		This provides a path from the host initiator to the SP.
		You will need to know the WWPN of the host initiators - available in the
		switch’s name server table.
		❑ Reboot the server using the reboot command to load the drivers and
		perform a login of the host initiators and SPs to the fabric ports on the
		switch.
		❑ Checkpoint - Use switch management software to verify that the HBAs
		and storage systems are logged in to the switch as fabric ports, and to
		verify that each HBA sees only the targets (SPs) to which it is zoned.
