4-5. Checking Connections of Peripherals

Confirm that the 8G FC Switch normally recognizes fibre channel devices according to the following
procedure:
Login to the console on the 8G FC Switch by using serial connection or Ethernet.
1.
See "Appendix Connecting Serial Port" in this User's Guide.
Type "switchshow" command on the console.
2.
→ Confirm that the fibre channel devices are normally linked up.
IMPORTANT:
If a fibre channel device already connected to the 8G FC Switch does not appear in
the result of the "switchshow" command, check the following:
－ Whether the connected fibre channel device operates normally.
－ Whether the FC cable is connected securely.
Type "nsshow" command on the console.
3.
→ Confirm that the information on the fibre channel devices is normally registered to the
relevant name server.
IMPORTANT:
A fibre channel device is registered for a port as a result of "switchshow" command
but the information on the fibre channel device may not appear as a result of the
information on the same port by "nsshow" command. If so, some device connection
error may occur. Take proper action according to the User's Guide of the fibre
channel device you use.
NOTE:
See "Appendix Checking Connections of Peripherals" for how to check the
connection of each peripheral.
