Verify Connectivity

  1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent installation tasks that you must perform in conjunction with this task.

    See Installation Task Overview.

  2. If you are at the switch, check the LEDs of the 1GBASE-T RJ-45 connectors and I/O modules.

    See:

  3. Access the Oracle ILOM CLI.

    See Log In to the SP (SER MGT) or Log In to the SP (Network Management).

  4. Verify Ethernet connectivity.
    1. Start the EMS console.
      -> start /System/Networking/Switches/Switch_0/fs_cli
      Are you sure you want to start /System/Networking/Switches/Switch_0/fs_cli
      (y/n)? y

      • Status – State of the port.

      • Duplex, Speed, and Negotiation – Parameters of the link.

      • Capability – Indicates if auto-crossover capability is on.

    4. If the output of a known installed card is not connected, or the status of a known-connected port is anything other than connected, investigate why.

      Refer to detecting and managing faults in the Oracle Fabric Interconnect F2-12 Service Manual and to the EMS module documentation.

    5. Exit the EMS console.
