7.After making connected FC Switch Modules effective, execute the "switchShow" command for each FC Switch Module to check connections among the FC Switch Modules.

„ If the cascade path can be linked normally, the status message on each connected port is either of the following ones:

E-Port WWN "Switch Name" (upstream) E-Port WWN "Switch Name" (downstream)

„If more than one cascade path are connected between specific FC Switch Modules, "(upstream)" and "(downstream)" do not appear for the second and following cascade paths.

„If a status message other than above appears, a malfunction is detected in the cascade connection. Retry the job from the beginning.

Sample display: Domain ID overlap Online E-Port segmented,(domain overlap)

„ Before cascade connection can be provided for FC Switch Modules, the zoning setting of the FC Switch Modules should always be deleted. Cascade connection under zoning status may cause an error to occur.

„Any FC Switch Modules with a duplicate domain ID cannot be subjected to cascade connection. Always change the domain IDs of FC Switch Modules subjected to cascade connection to be unique.

„The data transmission speed between FC Switch Modules subjected to cascade connection is 4G bps per path.

For cascade connection, first check the upper limit of the data transmission speed between FC Switch Modules.

8.When more than two FC Switch Modules are made cascade connection, execute “fabricshow” command to check status of the cascade connections between the FC Switch Modules.
