Verify Attached Storage for Sun PCIe Dual-Port FC EM Using Solaris 10

This topic explains how to use Solaris 10 software to verify that your Sun PCI Express (PCIe) Dual-Port Fibre Channel (FC) ExpressModule (EM) is connected correctly to attached storage.

  1. To verify attached storage, enter the following command:

    # cfgadm -a1

    If the FC EM is properly installed and storage is connected properly, you should see output similar to that shown below. In this example, one port of an EM adapter is connected through a fabric switch to two ports of a disk array, and one port of another EM adapter is connected to a tape drive.
