Fabric Login
In a Fibre Channel fabric, each host or disk requires an FC ID. Use the
show flogi
command to verify if a
storage device is displayed in the fabric login (FLOGI) table as in the following examples. If the required
device is displayed in the FLOGI table, the fabric login is successful. Examine the FLOGI database on a
switch that is directly connected to the host HBA and connected ports.
This example shows how to verify the storage devices in the fabric login (FLOGI) table:
switch#
show flogi database
