摘要: A method of automating the verification a fabric for interconnecting cluster end nodes. Switches within periodically access ports that are neighbors to switch gather information about neighboring port. This is stored in and available by an node management process, which, after obtaining determines whether valid, subjects plurality tests determine configurations connections made thereto compatible valid. If on pertaining enabled data transfer. incompatible or invalid, disabled.
