Note: The output of hba-a, hba-b, hba-c and hba-d is dependent on the presence of a PCIe card
in the rear HBA slots. If one or more links are not optimal, try powering off the Violin Memory
Gateway(s) and then on again, as described in Verifying the Memory Gateway Power State on page
43.
3. If the system is not in mg mode, run the following command (in Config mode):
pcie connect mg
4. Verify that the links are shown in optimal condition. If they are not, see Troubleshooting on
page 47.
5. Continue to Verifying the Memory Gateway Network Setup on this page.
Verifying the Memory Gateway Network Setup
The internal Memory Gateways shipped from the factory in a Violin 6000 Series flash Memory Array
(i.e., not replacement Memory Gateways), should have host definitions for “mg-a” and “mg-b”.
To verify the Violin Memory Gateway network setup, do the following:
1. Verify the Memory Gateway host definitions using the show hosts command, as shown in
the following example.
2. If there is no host IP address defined for both mg-a and mg-b, see Determining IP Addresses
of Internal Memory Gateways (Both Unknown) on page 48 for instructions.
3. Continue to Verifying the Memory Gateway Power State on page 43.
