VERIFYING DEVICE CONNECTIVITY

Use the cfgshow command on the edge fabrics to verify device connectivity:

NDA-T01-48K:admin> cfgshow

Defined configuration:

zone: fabAzone b48_w2k; b48_disk1

zone: lsan_fabBB_fabA b48_disk1; b75_w2k

The zoneshow command will give the same information in slightly different format

You may also use Fabric Manager, as long as you use the MetaSAN View

VERIFYING PROXY DEVICES

Display proxy devices with the fcrproxydevshow command:

NDA-T01-7500:admin> fcrproxydevshow

Note: Besides using CLI commands to verify devices, ports, zones, proxies, etc., verification can be

achieved using SAN Health and Fabric Manager

M-SERIES ROUTERS

Monitoring an M-Series routed fabric requires the use of EFCM Standard. Under the Configuration Archive

dialogue box, you may choose to archive some files that will help in the event of a problem. You would

want to save copies of the event log and take a backup of the configuration, in the event something

happens that requires the information from a point in time.

To manage routing within an M-Series fabric consider these zoning caveats:

• Only the active zone set is distributed to the switches in the fabric

• Depending on the platform, membership is restricted either by zone set size or member count
