Examples
Entering the connectivity validate-be command without any arguments provides a summary output as shown.
VPlexcli:/> connectivity validate-be
Cluster cluster-1
0 storage-volumes which are dead or unreachable.
0 storage-volumes which do not meet the high availability requirement for storage volume
paths*.
0 storage-volumes which are not visible from all directors.
0 storage-volumes which have more than supported (4) active paths from same director.
*To meet the high availability requirement for storage volume paths each storage volume
must be accessible from each of the directors through 2 or more metro node backend
ports, and 2 or more Array target ports, and there should be 2 or more ITLs.
Cluster cluster-2
0 storage-volumes which are dead or unreachable.
0 storage-volumes which do not meet the high availability requirement for storage volume
paths*.
5019 storage-volumes which are not visible from all directors.
0 storage-volumes which have more than supported (4) active paths from same director.
*To meet the high availability requirement for storage volume paths each storage volume
must be accessible from each of the directors through 2 or more metro node backend
ports, and 2 or more Array target ports, and there should be 2 or more ITLs.
