Check Storage Array Connectivity
Description
This command verifies that the local storage array and the remote storage array have a communication
path and displays the connection details between the local and remote storage array.
Before creating a remote replication group, you should check whether the local storage array and the
remote storage array can communicate with each other. When you execute this command, the system
queries for the remote storage array on all eligible host ports to determine what ports are connected to
the remote storage array. The result of the test is a list of all ports on the local storage array along with a
list of the remote storage array port addresses accessible through that port.
NOTE: Connectivity is tested using all possible channels, and if it is a dual RAID controller module
configuration, connectivity is checked from each RAID controller module. It might take up to 20
minutes to check connectivity between two storage arrays.
Syntax
check storageArray connectivity (remoteStorageArrayName="storageArrayName" |
remoteStorageArrayWwid=<wwID>)
Parameters
Parameter Description
remoteStorageArrayName
The name for the remote storage array for which
you are checking connectivity. Enclose the storage
array name in double quotation marks (" ").
remoteStorageArrayNameWwid
The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the storage
array for which you are checking connectivity. You
can use the WWID instead of the storage array
name to identify the storage array. Enclose the
WWID in angle brackets (< >).
Notes
Before a replication can be established between two storage arrays, they must be connected through a
Fibre Channel connection or an iSCSI connection.
Fibre Channel remote replication must be activated on both storage arrays before they can communicate
with each other for replicating or connectivity checking.
If the local storage array supports iSCSI, connectivity over iSCSI is checked. If the local storage array
supports Fibre Channel and replicating over Fibre Channel has been activated, connectivity over Fibre
