Verifying the SAN Volume Controller installation

Once the SAN Volume Controller is installed, you can verify the installation.
Check the speed at which the SAN Volume Controller nodes are to be operated
(usually 2 Gbps) in the configuration data table that is provided by the customer.
This task shows you how to verify the installation after you install the SAN Volume
Controller in the rack and connect it to both the uninterruptible power supply and
the SAN.
Perform the following steps to verify installation:
