Cisco UCS Troubleshooting FC SFP’s

 

Connect to nxos on proper FI.

 

Show the interface, is it down or up?

BigUCS-B(nxos)# show interface fc 2/16

If interface is down check the fiber cable and transceiver.

Sometimes this can be hard to get a read on. For the most part have seen these look about the same good or bad. But this is a good command to ensure the correct SFP has been replaced if you are remote. Google the part number.
