From this result we can see that the port was labeled as per design as VMAX 9G:1. Now we need
to confirm this is the actual port connected to FC2/37.
To analyse the connectivity of a specific interface we first need to retrieve the FCID for this port:
show interface fc2/37
(http://davering.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/21.jpg)
Now that we know the FCID is 0x010440, we can run our magic cmd to verify what VMAX Port is
connected to FC2/37 :
show fcns database fcid 0x010440 detail vsan 10
(http://davering.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/3.jpg)
From the output we can confirm that there is a problem; the expected VMAX Port was 9G1 but in
fact 7G1 is the VMAX port patched to FC2/37 (SYMMETRIX::000195701570::SAF7gB::FC::5876_229). Thus either we update the description of the interface or have the correct
VMAX Port patched.
To modify the description:
interface fc2/37
Switchport description VMAX20K-7g1
no shutdown
VNX Example
Interface FC1/25 as per design is connected to Service Processor A2 front-end port 2:

Running show interface fc1/25 in order to confirm port description and retrieve the FCID:

Now that we know the FCID is 0x010500, we can query the FCNS database for details of what is
connected at the other end of FC1/25:
show fcns database fcid 0x010500 detail vsan 10
(http://davering.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/vnx4.jpg)
From the output we can confirm the correct port is connected from the VNX.
Another method of confirming the correct port is connected, is by gathering the WWPN from the
VNX/VMAX port and then running the show flogi database interface fc 1/25 command on the MDS:

Reverse Lookup
From the VNX we can run a naviseccli -h SP_IP port -list:
(http://davering.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/vnx6.jpg)
From the output we can see that SPA_6(Logical Port) is connected to the MDS interface WWN
20:19:54:7f:ee:e2:9e:f8.
Given this information we can lookup the Interface Port number by issuing: show fcs database |
include 20:19:54:7f:ee:e2:9e:f8
(http://davering.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/vnx7.jpg)
Thus we can conclude from this output that the VNX Physcial Port SPA:2_2 is connected to MDS
Port FC1/25.
Note: If we want to look up the details of all the switch ports on the MDS this is the command:
show fcns database detail
