4-5. Checking Connections of Peripherals
Confirm that the FC Switch Module normally recognizes fibre channel devices according to the following procedure:
1.Type "switchshow" on the console.
→Confirm that the fibre channel devices are normally linked up.
If a fibre channel device already connected to the FC Switch Module does
not appear in the result of the "switchshow" command, check the following:
–Whether the connected fibre channel device operates normally, and
–Whether the FC cable is connected securely.
2.Type "nsshow" on the console.
→Confirm that the information on the fibre channel devices is normally registered to the relevant name server.
Check the following if the information on a fibre channel device already
connected does not appear in the result of the "nsshow" commend:
–Whether the connected fibre channel device operates normally and
–Whether the FC cable is connected securely.
A fibre channel device is registered for a port as a result of "switchshow" but the information on the fibre channel device may not appear as a result of the information on the same port by "nsshow". If so, some device connection error may occur. Take proper action according to the User’s Guide of the fibre channel device you use.
See "Appendix Checking Connections of Peripherals" for how to check the connection of each peripheral.
