5–8 HSG80 ACS Solution Software Version 8.6 for IBM AIX Installation and Configuration Guide
The following sample is a result of a
SHOW THIS command, with the areas of interest in
bold.
Controller:
HSG ZG09030200 Software V85L, Hardware E01
NODE_ID = 5000-1FE1-0000-00A0
ALLOCATION_CLASS = 0
SCSI_VERSION = 2
Device Port SCSI address 6
Time: 10-Mar-1999:12:30:34
Host PORT_1:
Reported PORT_ID = 5000-1FE1-0000-0001
PORT_1_TOPOLOGY = FABRIC (fabric up)
Address = 011121
Host PORT_2:
Reported PORT_ID = 5000-1FE1-0000-0002
PORT_2_TOPOLOGY = FABRIC (fabric up)
Address = 011221
Cache: 128 megabyte write cache, version 0012 Cache is GOOD

19. Turn on the switches, if not done previously.
Plug in the FC Cable and Verify Connections
20. Plug the Fibre Channel cable from the first host bus adapter into the switch. Enter the
SHOW CONNECTIONS command to view the connection table:
HSG> SHOW CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Although an IBM operating system entry exists in the CLI and SWCC for the Fibre
Channel connection, use the default setting WINNT for operation with your IBM host. The IBM
setting may cause problems when LUNs are not available to AIX or during controller failover.
The first connection will have one or more entries in the connection table. Each
connection will have a default name of the form !NEWCONxx, where xx is a number
representing the order in which the connection was added to the connection table.
