Verifying the setup for FC-FC routing

Before configuring a fabric to connect to another fabric, you must perform the following verification
checks on the FC router.

1. Log in to the switch or Backbone as admin and enter the version command. Verify that

Fabric OS v7.0.1 is installed on the FC router as shown in the following example.

switch:admin> version
Kernel: 2.6.14.2
Fabric OS: v7.0.1
Made on: Fri Nov 18 01:15:34 2011
Flash: Mon Nov 21 20:53:48 2011
BootProm: 1.0.9

2. If you are configuring a Backbone, enter the slotShow command to verify that an FX8-24 blade

is present or an 8-Gbps or 16-Gbps port blade is present. The following example shows slots 1,
2, 3, 9, 10, and 12 with 8-Gbps port blades enabled.
