HP DC SAN Backbone Director Switch Hardware Reference Guide (5697-2158, August 2012)

Verifying that the configuration of the fabric is correct
HP recommends that you copy the command outputs from this section into a file.
To verify correct configuration of the fabric:
1. Create an “after” SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output
to a text file named SANafter.txt:
• nsShow
• nsAllShow
• switchShow
• lscfg --show (if using the VF feature)
• fabricShow
rsl8-st03-dcx-1:admin> nsshow
Type Pid COS PortName NodeName TTL(sec)
N 020f00; 3;10:00:00:01:73:00:29:46;10:00:00:01:73:00:29:46; na
Fabric Port Name: 20:0f:00:60:69:90:03:f0

rsl8-st03-dcx-1:admin> fabricshow
Switch ID Worldwide Name Enet IP Addr FC IP Addr Name

2. 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
