If you are having problems attaching to the Ethernet hosts, your problem might be related
to the network, the
system, or the host.
Note: The system and Host IP should be on the same VLAN. Host and
system 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
system ports.
- Try to ping the 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
system host configuration.
Using the management GUI for
system 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,
system 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.
