For device sharing related issues, two commands are very useful. Use the switchshow command on the
edge fabrics to verify devices are online:
NDA-T01-48K:admin> switchshow | grep e-port -i
116 10 4 0a7400 id N2 Online E-Port 50:00:51:e3:78:a8:5e:0a "fcr_fd_4"
(downstream)(Trunk master)
117 10 5 0a7500 id N2 Online E-Port (Trunk port, master is Slot 10 Port 4 )
118 10 6 0a7600 id N2 Online E-Port (Trunk port, master is Slot 10 Port 4 )

Use the cfgshow command on the edge fabrics to verify device connectivity:
NDA-T01-48K:admin> cfgshow
<Truncated Output>
Defined configuration:
zone: fabAzone b48_w2k; b48_disk1
zone: lsan_fabBB_fabA b48_disk1; b75_w2k

Note: The zoneshow command will give the same information in slightly different format
