NOTE: Connectivity is tested using all possible channels, and if it is a dual RAID controller module configuration,
connectivity is checked from each RAID controller module. It might take up to 20 minutes to check connectivity
between two storage arrays.

Syntax

check storageArray connectivity

(remoteStorageArrayName="storageArrayName" | remoteStorageArrayWwid=<wwID>

Parameters

Parameter

Description

remoteStorageArrayName

The name for the remote storage array for which you are
checking connectivity. Enclose the storage array name in
double quotation marks (" ").

remoteStorageArrayNameWwid

The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the storage array for
which you are checking connectivity. You can use the
WWID instead of the storage array name to identify the
storage array. Enclose the WWID in angle brackets (< >).

Notes

Before a replication can be established between two storage arrays, they must be connected through a Fibre Channel
connection or an iSCSI connection.
Fibre Channel remote replication must be activated on both storage arrays before they can communicate with each
other for replicating or connectivity checking.
If the local storage array supports iSCSI, connectivity over iSCSI is checked. If the local storage array supports Fibre
Channel and replicating over Fibre Channel has been activated, connectivity over Fibre Channel is checked. If the local
storage array does not support iSCSI or Fibre Channel, an error message is displayed and the operation aborted.
