Verifying correct configuration of the fabric

Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.
1. Create an "after" SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output to a text file
named SANafter.txt:
• nsShow
• nsAllShow
• switchShow
• fabricShow
• lscfg --show (if using the Vvirtual Fabric feature)

2. Determine any differences between the information in the SANafter.txt file and the information in the
SANbefor.txt file created earlier. In particular, look for differences in the following:
• Device types
• Number of devices
• ISL and port states
• Number of switches in the fabric
3. Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the Brocade DCX-4S or fabric:
• If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
• If the configuration information is not correct for the Brocade DCX-4S, modify as required.
• If other issues exist, contact your support provider.

ATTENTION
Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on the upper port side of the chassis).
Air exhaust vents are also located on the lower port side if the Port Side Exhaust Kit is installed.
