About this task

Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended. You must be logged in with Admin privileges.

Procedure

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)

switch:admin> nsshow

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
Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the device or fabric:
- If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
- If the configuration information is not correct for the device, modify as required.
- If other issues exist, contact your support provider.
