Verifying Interoperating Status

This section highlights the steps used to verify if the fabric is up and running in interoperability mode.

Note     The Cisco MDS name server shows both local and remote entries, and does not time out the entries.

To verify the interoperability status of any switch in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family using DCNM for SAN, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Switches in the Physical Attributes pane and check the release number in the Information pane to verify the Cisco NX-OS release.
  2. Expand Switches > Interfaces, and then select FC Physical to verify the interface modes for each switch.
  3. Expand Fabricxx in the Logical Domains pane and then select All VSANs to verify the interop mode for all VSANs.
  4. Expand Fabricxx > All VSANs and then select Domain Manager to verify the domain IDs, local, and principal sWWNs for all VSANs.
  5. Using Device Manager, choose FC > Name Server to verify the name server information.

    6. You see the Name Server dialog box.

  6. Click Close to close the dialog box.
