Checkpoint - For a SAN, verify the storage-system connections to the
switch by checking the LED(s) for the switch port connected to each SP
port.
For a 1-Gbit switch - LED is green, which indicates that the SP 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.
❑
Cable each SP to the LAN connected to the hosts from which you will
manage the storage system.
