As shown in the following image, the screen displays the VC-FC Uplink port information (port speed, connection
status, the upstream switch WWN ports) and provides the server port details. The Uplink Port column identifies

Two uplink
ports are
used for
Fabric-A-1
Note: VC 3.70 and later include the “Uplink Port” information , so it is no longer necessary to look on the
upstream SAN switch port information to identify which VC uplink FC port a server is using.
