you can check FA login status  symmask -sid 123 list logins  if you don't see it logged-in, on the switch side run "switchShow" to see if the HBAs has logged-in there.
I want to know the best procedure to check the link/connectivity is doing fine from host HBA to switch port to the VMAX FA port, I have brocade/webtools switch, I want to make sure the link is live all the way from HBA to VMAX FA.  Thanks.
