Verifying and tracing Fibre Channel connections

You can verify Fibre Channel connections between the switch and the fabric and display routing
information. Enter the fcping command to verify a Fibre Channel connection to a switch or a device, as
shown in the following example. The target device can be defined as a Fibre Channel address or a
WWN.
SN6000 FC Switch #> fcping 970400 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 10 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 11 usec
28 bytes from local switch to 0x970400 time = 119 usec
The following is an example of a connection failure:
SN6000 FC Switch #> fcping 0x113344 count 3
28 bytes from local switch to 0x113344 failed
Enter the fctrace command to display Fibre Channel routing information between two devices, as shown
in the following example. The devices can be defined as Fibre Channel addresses or WWNs.
SN6000 FC Switch#> fctrace 970400 970e00 hops 5
36 bytes from 0x970400 to 0x970e00, 5 hops max

Managing switch feature upgrades

A feature license key is a password that you can purchase from your switch distributor or authorized
reseller to upgrade your switch. License keys vary according to the features you purchase. The following
license key features are available:
• The HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 20Gb ISL Upgrade LTU enables the XPAK ports to transmit at
20 Gb/s instead of the default 10 Gb/s.
• The HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 4-port FC Switch Upgrade LTU enables additional SFP ports
in increments of four on the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 8Gb 12-port Single Power FC Switch
for totals of 16, 20, or 24 ports.
Installing a feature license key is not disruptive, nor does it require a switch reset. To order a license key,
contact your switch distributor or your authorized reseller.
TIP: To obtain the switch serial number and license key, follow the step-by-step instructions on the firmware
feature entitlement request certificate for the license key.

Displaying feature licenses

To display the license keys that are installed, enter the feature log command on your switch, as shown
in the following example:
SN6000 FC Switch #> feature log
