Validations during router insertion process
Removing first direct path
from controller port (for
example, Port A) 1. Zone out the first direct path from the FC switch.
2. Rescan the storage adapters to verify that the path has been removed from the disk
list.
Add the first router path by zoning the presented target and host ports. Rescan the
storage adapters to identify the new disk drives. Adding router path for the
removed controller port (for
example, Port A)
Removing second direct path
from controller port (for
example, Port B) 1. Zone out the second direct path from the FC switch.
2. Rescan the storage adapters to verify that the path has been removed from the disk
list.
Add the second router path by zoning the presented target and host ports. Rescan the
storage adapters to identify the new disk drives. Adding router path for the
removed controller port (for
example, Port B)
These validations use the method described in “Zoning in presented targets: Method 1” .
Alternatively, you can use the method described in “Zoning in presented targets: Method 2” .
