Step 9. Verify FCIP links and firmware version

1.

To determine whether a firmware upgrade is necessary, go to the SPOCK website at

http://

www.hp.com/storage/spock

. You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. Upgrade

accordingly.

2.

Use the CLI ping command to verify FCIP link connectivity.

NOTE:

When troubleshooting/testing the FCIP route with the MPX200 CLI command ping,

always use the largest supported packet size size. Utilizing the default packet size (~56) does
not sufficiently stress the link. Also if ping does not work, the FCIP route cannot come online.

3.

Use the wanlinktest command to verify the WAN link. See

“wanlinktest

command” (page 192)

.

4.

Verify that the FC switches have established an ISL over the FCIP link.

NOTE:

After the ISL is established, use the FCPING command to test the ISL connection. Each

FC Switch has unique switches to the FCPING command, but generally always test with the maximum
frame size allowed and run for an extended period of time to verify a stable connection.
