Isolating Port Issues Using the CLI
To isolate port issues using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the show interface command to determine if the host HBA and the storage port can provide link
level connectivity to their respective switches.
NPI1# show interface fc2/5 status
fc2/5 is down (Offline)
NPI2# show interface fc2/5 status
fc1/5 is up Port mode is F
See Table 8-1 on page 8-3 for details on nonoperational interface reasons.
Step 2 If the port is down and offline, use the no shutdown command to bring the port online.
NPI1# config t
NPI1(config)# interface fc 2/5
NPI1(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 3 Repeat Step 1 to determine if the port is online.
If either of the ports fails to remain in the online state, then you may have a faulty GBIC, cabling or
HBA/subsystem port.
Step 4 If both ports are online, use the show flogi command to verify that the Fibre Channel ports for the host
and storage have performed a fabric login (FLOGI) and are communicating with their respective
switches.
Example 8-2 Using the show flogi command
NPI1# sh flogi

show hardware internal error Collects interrupt statistics, error statistics, and
exception log information for the entire module.
show hardware internal debug-info
interface fc-interface
Represents an aggregation of a number of debug
commands from all ASICs. The information includes
interrupt-statistics, error-statistics, exception-log,
link-events, and all debug information that is provided
by the FC-MAC driver.
