– Whether the FC cable is connected securely.
2.
Type "nsshow" on the console.

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

error may occur. Take proper action according to the User’s Guide of the
fibre channel device you use.
