about LED patterns, refer to “Interpreting LED Activity” on page 59.

2. Verify the correct operation of the SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V

by entering the switchshow command from the workstation. This command

provides information about the switch and port status.

3. Verify the correct operation of the SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V

in the fabric by entering the fabricshow command from the workstation. This

Backing Up Your Configuration

HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available

for downloading to a replacement switch, if required. For specific instructions

about how to back up the configuration, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS

Procedures 4.2x User Guide.

Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configupload

command and following the prompts. This command uploads the switch

configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement

switch, if necessary.
