Verifying correct configuration of the fabric
Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.
1. Create an “after” SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output to a
text file named “SANafter.txt”:
•
nsShow
•
nsAllShow
•
switchShow
•
fabricShow
•
lscfg --show (if using the virtual fabric feature)

2. Determine any differences between the information in the “SANafter.txt” file and the
information in the “SANbefor.txt” file created earlier. In particular, look for differences in the
following:
•
Device types
•
Number of devices
•
ISL and port states
•
Number of switches in the fabric
3. Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the PowerConnect B-DCX-4S or fabric.
•
If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
