AX100-Series - Installing a Fibre Channel Storage System with a Direct Connection to a NetWare Server

Verifying Your Configuration

Verify That the Storage System Received the Disk Information

1. For each virtual disk in the storage system that is connected to the

server, display its Navisphere Express

Details

page:

a. In the Navisphere Express navigation panel, under

Manage

click

Virtual Disks

b. On the

Manage Virtual Disk

page, click the virtual disk to

display its

Details

page.

2. Verify that the

Details

page displays the volume or file system

and device name for the virtual disk.

Verifying Your Configuration

Read this section for all configurations.

Before you store data on virtual disks, you should use the procedure
below to verify that:

◆

The server can send data to the storage system.

◆

PowerPath shows the paths from the server to the virtual disk
that you expect for your configuration.

Before You Start

If you are not familiar with PowerPath, read

PowerPath in Action

the "Technical descriptions" section on the AX100 support website or
the

AX100-Series Documentation

CD.
