Purpose and CLI output

The fcping feature verifies reachability of a node by checking its end-to-end connectivity. You can invoke th
fcping feature by providing the FC ID, the destination port WWN, or the device alias information.

We can check and confirm server HBAs (WWWN) and subsystem ports(array FA ports) successfully registere
with the fabric name server

Does the correct pWWN for the HBAs and the storage subsystem ports show up on the correct port in the FLOG
database?

show tech-support command is useful when collecting a large amount of information about your switch fo
troubleshooting purposes. The output of this command can be provided to technical support representative
when reporting a problem.

barProvides access to options that are organized by menus.

ToolbarProvides icons for direct access to the most commonly used

Information paneDisplays information about whatever option is selected
3 in the menu tree.
Status Bar (right side)Shows the last entry displayed by the discovery
4 process and the possible error message.
Fabric paneDisplays a map of the network fabric, including switches,
5 hosts, and storage. It also provides tabs for displaying log and event data.
Status Bar (left side)Shows short-term transient messages, such as the
6 number of rows displayed in a table.
Physical Attributes paneDisplays a tree of available configuration tasks
depending on the fabric, VSAN, or zone selected previously. Lists the
7 switches and end devices in the logical selection.
Logical Domains paneDisplays a tree of configured SAN, fabrics,
VSANs, and zones, and provides access to user-defined groups. The label
8 next to the segmented VSAN indicates the number of segments.

Fabric manager for troubleshooting

Determines the status of the components of a specific switch.
Determines connectivity and routes among devices with the switch fabric. This tool checks
to see that every pair of end devices can talk to each other, using a Ping test and by
determining if they are in the same VSAN or in the same active zone.

Color code and meaning

Green box: A successful fabric login has occurred; the connection is active.
Red X: A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver is present but there is no connection. This could indicate a
disconnected or faulty cable, or no active device connection.

Red box: An SFP is present but fabric login (FLOGI) has failed. Typically there is a mismatch in port or fabric param
with the neighboring device. For example, a port parameter mismatch would occur if a node device were connected
port configured as an E port. An example of a fabric parameter mismatch would be differing timeout values.
Yellow box: In Device Manager, a port has been selected.
Gray box: The port is administratively disabled.
Black box: An SFP is not present.
