A-4
Determine the ServerNet Fabric Status
Determine the ServerNet Fabric Status
You use the OSM Service Connection, TSM Service Application, or SCF to determine
the status of ServerNet fabrics.
Check the ServerNet Fabric Status Using the OSM Service
Connection or TSM Service Application
This procedure is supported by OSM and TSM version 2000A or later and can be used
on both processor enclosures and I/O enclosures.
Step Action Result
1. For TSM, in the tree pane,
click the system tab (for
viewing internal fabrics) or
the Cluster tab (for viewing
external fabrics). For OSM,
click the system name.
If the system tab was selected, expand the system
icon to find the Internal_SvNet_Fabric_X and
Internal_SvNet_Fabric_Y icons.
If the Cluster tab was selected, expand first the
Cluster icon and then the ServerNet Cluster icon to
find the External ServerNet Fabric X and External
ServerNet Fabric Y icons.
2. Right-click the icon for the
fabric that you want to
check first.
A menu appears.
3. Select Actions. The Actions dialog box appears.
4. Click Perform Action. A confirmation dialog box appears.
5. Select Group Connectivity ServerNet Path Test.
6. Click OK. It might take several minutes for the test to finish.
When it does, the status goes from Started to
Completed.
If the test fails, proceed to Step 6.
7. Close the Actions dialog
box.
Consult the Repair Actions. See “Viewing Alarm
Detail Information” in the OSM Service Connection
or TSM Service Application online help. If necessary,
contact your service provider
8. Repeat this procedure for the fabric you want to check next.
Note. For OSM, windows can be hidden behind the primary window and, if waiting for a
response, can create problems. To check for open windows, click the Window menu in the
OSM toolbar.
