Initial Configuration Connect Devices to the Switch Power off all devices (to minimize Port Logins (PLOGIs)) and connect them to the switch, according to your topology. For devices that cannot be powered off, connect the devices, but use the portdisable command to disable the port on the switch. When powering the devices back on, wait for each device to complete the fabric login before powering on the next one. Verifying Device Connectivity To verify that you have fabric-wide device connectivity, display the fabric-wide device count. The number of devices listed in the Name Server (NS) should reflect the number of devices that are connected. To display the fabric-wide device count from a switch: 1. Log into the switch as the admin user. 2. (Optional) Enter the switchshow command to verify that the storage devices are logged in. 3. (Optional) Enter the nsshow command to verify that the storage devices have successfully registered with the Name Server. 4. Enter the nsallshow [type] command at the command line. This command displays 24-bit Fibre Channel addresses of all devices in the fabric. type Specify the FC-PH type code. This operand is optional. The valid values for this operand are 0 to 255. Below are two specific FC-PH device type codes: 8 = FCP type device 4 , 5 = FC-IP type device Other FC-PH types are displayed in the format "x ports supporting FC4 code," where x is the number of ports of a type, and code is the FC-PH type code.
