Determining inactive iSCSI devices

For router-discovered iSCSI devices, you can view all of the inactive iSCSI devices in one list. To do
this, use the Ports Only view and then sort the devices by FC Address. The devices that have an FC
address of all zeros are inactive.

1. Select View All, Levels, and then Ports Only from the main window.

2. Use the scroll bar to view the columns to the right and locate the FC Address column in the

Ports Only list.

3. Click the column label to sort the column in ascending order, if needed.
