Problem: Control enclosure not detected

If a control enclosure is not detected by the system, this procedure can help you resolve the problem.

When installing a new control enclosure, use the Add Enclosures wizard in the management GUI. To access this wizard, select Monitoring > System. On the Systems page, select Actions > Add Enclosures.

If the control enclosure is not detected, check the following items:
  • The enclosure is powered on.
  • The enclosure is not part of another system.
  • At least one node is in candidate state.
  • The Fibre Channel cables are connected and zoning is set up according to the zoning rules defined in the SAN configuration and zoning rules summary topic. There must be a zone that includes all ports from all node canisters.
  • The existing system and the nodes in the enclosure that are not detected have version 6.2 or later installed.
