Verifying the PID mode and connecting to the fabric
To verify PID mode, connect the system to the fabric and verify status, follow these
steps:
1. Before connecting the SAN384B to the fabric, verify that the port identifier
(PID) mode on the SAN384B matches the other switches in the fabric. This
parameter must be set identically on all switches in the fabric. This parameter
is set using the configure command. For information on PID mode, refer to the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
2. Verify the chassis and port status by entering the switchShow command. This
command provides detailed information about the SAN384B.
3. Verify fabric connectivity by entering the fabricShow command. This command
provides general information about the fabric.
