2. Look for the device in the NS list, which lists the nodes connected to that switch. This allows you to
determine if a particular node is accessible on the network.
• If the device is not present in the NS list, the problem is between the device and the switch. There
may be a time-out communication problem between edge devices and the name server, or there
may be a login issue. First check the edge device documentation to determine if there is a time-out
setting or parameter that can be reconfigured. Also, check the port log for NS registration
information and FCP probing failures (using the fcpProbeShow command). If these queries do
not help solve the problem, contact the support organization for the product that appears to be
inaccessible.
