Performing verification checks
Before configuring a fabric to connect to another fabric, you must perform the following verification checks
on the switch or director.
To perform verification checks:
1. Log in to the switch or director as admin and enter the version command. Verify that Fabric OS 6.0
is installed on the 400 MP Router, 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director with the FR4-18i blade as shown
in the following example.
switch:admin_06> version
Kernel: 2.4.19
Fabric OS: v6.0
Made on: Mon Sep 24 01:15:34 2007
Flash: Tue Sep 25 20:53:48 2007
BootProm: 4.5.3
2. If configuring the 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director with an FR4-18i blade, enter the slotShow
command to verify that the FR4-18i blade is present. The following example shows slot 2 with AP blade
24 enabled.
If you are not configuring a 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director with an FR4-18i blade, then skip to
step 4.
switch:admin_06> slotshow

See ”Configuring Directors” on page 25 for a list of blades and their corresponding IDs.
3. If configuring the 4/256 SAN Director with an FR4-18i blade, then enter the chassisConfig
command to verify that the director is using configuration option 5.
NOTE: The DC Director only supports chassis configuration option 5.
