verify links
Description Verifies host-port links.
If a remote system is specified, all link paths between the local system and the remote system are
tested; otherwise, link paths between controller A and controller B in the local system are tested. The
remote system must already have been added by using the create remote-system command.
For replication purposes, this tests the links to be used for replication from one system to another
system. To verify bidirectional communication, run this command from the primary system to the
secondary system, and then from the secondary system to the primary system.
