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.
