To verify that basic or advanced data path failover is working:
1.

From the Fibre Channel switch's management console, down the main Fibre Channel port to
a drive.

2.

From the host computers confirm that the drive is still accessible. After confirming that the drive
is still accessible the host logs should show a failover event.

3.

To verify that failover occurred, navigate to Monitor

→Drives to launch the Drive Status dialog.

The link status for the first port is Down, and the link status for the second port is Active as
shown below.
