Troubleshooting
7-13
The topology for Port 1 on each array controller should be:
Fabric Up state (not the Standby state)
FABRIC
Server Node Connectivity to Fibre Channel
Fabric Connection Paths
To verify that your servers are connected to all Fibre Channel Fabric paths,
open a CLI window and issue the CLI command
show connection
. The output
of this command shows status information about present and previous
connections to all Fibre Channel Fabric paths, including connection name,
controller, controller port, adapter ID address, status, and unit offset. The
status entry indicates the port is Online (connected) or Offline (disconnected).
Rename the connection-name field to reflect the configuration of the array
controllers (for example, SVR1TOP1 for node 1, top controller, port 1). This
will improve your ability to view the Fibre Channel Fabric connections. For
further information about controller properties, see
Setting Up and
Configuring an MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem
in Chapter 5,
Installation and Configuration.
Verifying Connectivity to a Redundant Fibre
Channel Arbitrated Loop
Verify that the array controllers and the cluster nodes are properly connected
to all paths of the redundant Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) as
described in this section.
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Connectivity
Guidelines
To ensure that all connections along the FC-AL paths are correct, verify the
following:
KGPSA-BC or KGPSA-CB Host Adapters have been installed in the
same slot locations across all cluster nodes.
For each host adapter pair installed in the server, verify that the upper
(or leftmost) host adapter is connected by Fibre Channel cable to one
Storage Hub and that the bottom (or rightmost) host adapter is
connected to the second Storage Hub.
