Checkpoint - For a SAN, verify the HBA connections to the switch by
checking the LED(s) for the switch port connected to each additional HBA
port.
For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that the HBA port is
logged in to the switch port.
For a 2-Gbit switch - One of the following:
• The left LED is green and the right LED is off, which indicates that a
1-Gbit SP port is logged in to the switch port.
• For a DS-xxB2 switch, both LEDs are green, which indicates that a
2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.
• For a DS-xxM2 switch, the left LED is blue and the right LED is off,
which indicates that a 2-Gbit HBA port is logged in to the switch port.
