NOTE:

The DPOD feature does not consider disabled ports as candidates for license assignments.

You can persistently disable an otherwise viable port to cause it not to come online and

preserve a license assignment for future use.

Verifying the configuration

After setting initial parameters, verify the configuration as follows:

1.

Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
For information about LED patterns, refer to

Interpreting LED activity

.

2.

Type switchshow to get information about the switch and port status.

3.

Type fabricshow to get general information about the fabric.

Backing up the configuration

HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available, if

required. For specific instructions on how to back up the configuration, refer to the latest

version of the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide.
To back up the switch configuration to an FTP server, type configupl and follow the

prompts. The configupl command copies the switch configuration to the server,

making it available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary.
