Verify the State of the Internal ServerNet Fabric

To verify that the paths and connections within the ServerNet system area network (ServerNet SAN)

are properly functional:

1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection.

2. In the tree pane, double-click the Fabric Group.

3. For each Internal ServerNet Fabric, double-click the fabric.

4. Select each Processor Switch Power Supply.

5. In the Attributes tab, if the Service State attribute is visible, verify that it has a value of OK.

(The Service State attribute is visible in OSM only if attention or service is required.)

6. Check for alarms on the Internal ServerNet X and Y Fabric.

7. If an alarm exists:

a. Select the fabric object displaying the alarm.

b. Select the Alarms tab of the details pane.

c. Select the individual alarm.

d. Select Detail.

8. Diagnose and resolve any problems that are causing the alarm. If necessary, contact your

service provider before continuing with the migration.

Verify Firmware

Use the OSM Service Connection to verify that all updateable firmware is at the proper revision

level for your current RVU. For more information on updating firmware, see “Updating Blade

Complex Firmware for NS14000 Series Systems and NS16000 Series Systems” (page 29) and

the OSM Service Connection User’s Guide.

Verify Critical System Processes

From a TACL prompt, log on to the system using the super ID (255,255). Enter the LISTDEV

command:

QA2100.$SYSTEM.STARTUP 1> scf

SCF - T9082H01 - (23JUN11) (02MAY11) - 01/17/2013 10:44:02 System \QA2100
