2 After all ports have been configured, verify that the ports are configured for a host in a
direct connection by issuing the
showport -par command on the InServ Storage Server.
2.1.2 Configuring Ports for a Fabric Connection
To configure InServ Storage Server ports for fabric connect, complete the following steps for
each port connecting to a fabric.

CAUTION: Before taking a port offline in preparation for a fabric connection, you
should verify that the port has not been previously defined and that it is not
already connected to a host as this would interrupt the existing host connection.
If an InServ port is already configured for a fabric connection, you can ignore
step 2 on page 2.4 as you do not have to take the port offline.
