If you are having problems attaching to the Ethernet hosts,
your problem might be related to the network, the Lenovo Storage V series system,
or the host.
Note: Lenovo Storage V series and
Host IP should be on the same VLAN. Host and Lenovo Storage V series nodes
should not have same subnet on different VLANs.
For network problems, you can attempt any of the following
actions:
- Test your connectivity between the host and Lenovo Storage V series ports.
- Try to ping the Lenovo Storage V series system
from the host.
- Ask the Ethernet network administrator to check the firewall and
router settings.
- Check that the subnet mask and gateway are correct for the Lenovo Storage V series host
configuration.
Using the management GUI for Lenovo Storage V series problems,
you can attempt any of the following actions:
- View the configured node port IP addresses.
- View the list of volumes that are mapped to a host to ensure that
the volume host mappings are correct.
- Verify that the volume is online.
For host problems, you can attempt any of the following
actions:
- Verify that the host iSCSI qualified name (IQN) is correctly configured.
- Use operating system utilities (such as Windows device manager) to verify that the
device driver is installed, loaded, and operating correctly.
- If you configured the VLAN, check
that its settings are correct. Ensure that Host Ethernet port, Lenovo Storage V series Ethernet
ports IP address, and Switch port are on the same VLAN ID.
Ensure that on each VLAN, a different subnet is used. Configuring
the same subnet on different VLAN IDs can cause network
connectivity problems.
