Connecting devices and completing the setup 2 FIGURE 16 Specify Devices screen Connecting devices and completing the setup The final step in the switch configuration is to connect your devices to the switch in a way that matches a configured array of connection reservations (HBA or Storage) on the ports. In the interactive switch graphic that is displayed on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen, these connection reservations are shown by the letters H or S against a blue or green background on the ports, and will automatically match the types of the devices that have already been connected, with existing connections shown as green lines that connect the ports with icons representing the devices. If you have indicated on the previous screen that you intend to connect more devices, connection reservations of matching types will also have been made for your planned devices, with dotted blue lines to show you where these devices should be attached. Finally, as you actually attach the new devices, the dotted blue lines will change to solid green (for correctly attached devices), or to solid red (when devices are attached at ports with non-matching reservations). When a red line appears, the mismatch may be corrected either by moving the device to a different port as suggested by a dotted blue line for a device of that type, or else by changing the reservation type of the port where the device is currently connected by clicking on the port icon. In either case, the solid red and dotted blue line should both disappear, and be replaced by a single solid green line to indicate the correct connection. For connected devices you can also view details of the device by hovering your cursor over the host or storage icon. The Next button for this screen is not enabled until all non-matching or missing connection issues (indicated by solid red and/or dotted blue lines) have been resolved. If you change your mind about the number of devices you want to connect, you can click the Previous button and adjust the values you have selected in the dropdown device type lists on the Specify Devices screen. You must always select at least as many devices of each type as have actually been connected, and you must also connect as many devices of each type as you have selected.
