Checking the logical connection
1. Enter the switchShow command.
2. Review the output from the command and determine if the device successfully logged in to the
switch.
•
A device that
is
logically connected to the switch is registered as an F_, L_, E_, EX_, VE_,
VEX_, or N_Port.
•
A device that is
not
logically connected to the switch is registered as a G_ or U_Port, if NPIV
is not on the switch.
3. Enter the slotShow -m command to verify that all blades are ENABLED and not faulty, disabled
or in some other non-available state.
4. Perform the appropriate actions based on how your missing device is connected:
•
If the missing device
is
logically connected, proceed to the next troubleshooting procedure
(
“Checking the Name Server”
on page 26).
•
If the missing device is
not
logically connected, check the device and everything on that
side of the data path. Also see
“Link failures”
on page 28 for additional information.
Checking the path includes verifying the following for the Host:
The Host OS is configured correctly.
The third-party vendor multi-pathing input/output (MPIO) software if it is being used, is
configured correctly.
The HBA and storage device and the driver and firmware are compatible with switch
based on the compatibility matrix.
The driver settings and binaries are up-to-date.
The device Basic Input Output System (BIOS) settings are correct.
The HBA configuration is correct according to manufacturer’s specifications.
The SFPs in the HBA are compatible with the Host’s HBA.
