Viewing Fibre Channel Logged-in Devices

1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. Click the Administrative Tools icon.
3. Click the Fibre Channel Management icon.
4. Click the Logged In Device tab in Management View.
One of the devices in the list will be the port itself. If there is no other device,
this notification will appear: “There is no logged in device.” If a Fibre Channel
switch is attached, it will also appear in this list.
Viewing Fibre Channel Initiators
You must add an initiator to the VessRAID's initiator list in order to use the initiator
to create a LUN for your logical drive.
To view a list of recognized initiators:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.

3. Click the Fibre Channel Management icon.
4. Click the Initiators on Fabric tab in Management View.
A Fibre Channel switch will also display as an initiator in the list. If your Host
PC’s Fibre Channel HBA is connected to the VessRAID directly (not though
a Fibre Channel switch), the initiator will NOT display in the initiator list.
