Procedure 7: Verify the Connections

After connecting devices and the server to the hub, verify the connections.

Note Because the hub is strictly a pass-through device for FC-AL traffic, there is no hub address and the hub is not listed in ioscan output (HP-UX servers) or the SCSI Adapters window (HP NetServers).

For HP-UX servers:

1.Use the following HP-UX command to run ioscan and check the hardware paths between the server and the attached FC-AL devices:

ioscan -f

For details on ioscan and its options, refer to the HP-UX System Administration Tasks Manual. Also consult the device documentation to interpret the ioscan output.

2.If the Hardware State of a device connected to the hub is “Unclaimed” or “No H/W,” see chapter 4, Troubleshooting, for more information.

For HP NetServers:

1.From the Start menu, select Settings, then select Control Panel.

2.Double-click the SCSI Adapters icon. The SCSI Adapters window appears.

3.Click the Devices tab, then verify that the FC-AL devices connected to the hub are displayed.
