SAN configuration between devices
Devices in a SAN, such as a data gateway or a switch, typically provide utilities that display what that device sees on the SAN.
It is possible to use these utilities to better understand
and troubleshoot the configuration of your SAN. The vendor for the
data gateway or switch typically provides a utility for configuration.
As part of this configuration utility, there is usually information
such as:
- How this device is configured
- Other information that this device sees in the SAN topology (of which it is a part)
- Data gateway
- A data gateway reports all the Fibre Channel devices and the SCSI devices that are available in the SAN.
- Switch
- A switch reports information about the SAN fabric.
