What are the 4 IP addresses and subnets for the 4 iSCSI ports on the MD3000i? Controller 0 iSCSI port 0: ? (guessing 10.182.232.250 /24) Controller 0 iSCSI port 1: ? (guessing 10.182.233.250 /24) Controller 1 iSCSI port 0: 10.182.232.251 /24 (assumption on the mask) Controller 1 iSCSI port 1: 10.182.233.251 /24 (assumption on the mask) Cabling should be: iSCSI Switch/VLAN 1: Controller 0 iSCSI port 0 Controller 1 iSCSI port 0 Server 1 iSCSI port 0 (in the 10.182.232.x /24 subnet) etc. iSCSI Switch/VLAN 2: Controller 0 iSCSI port 1 Controller 1 iSCSI port 1 Server 1 iSCSI port 0 (in the 10.182.233.x /24 subnet) etc. To test the iSCSI ports on controller 0, take a laptop with a Gbit ethernet port (any modern laptop should have this), connect the ethernet port to controller 0 iSCSI port 0, set the laptop's IP to 10.182.232.100 and try to ping 10.182.232.250 (assuming this is the IP on that port). If it works, change the laptop's IP to 10.182.233.100 and move the cable to iSCSI port 1 and try to ping 10.182.233.250 and see if you can ping that IP. If both of those work, the first thing that comes to mind is that port 0 and 1 have their cables swapped.
Hello, I have set up my iSCSI network as suggested in this post: [URL] I can only ping the ports on RAID controller 1 (both ports). All of my iSCSI traffic is crammed through this controller. Windows 2008R2 servers (R710/810) as well as an ESXi 4.1 cluster (R610 and PE2950) access the dedicated iSCSI network. I have contacted support a few weeks ago and they replaced both RAID controllers as well as the back plane in the MD3000i. They are insistent that it is a configuration problem and would not assist any further beyond sending me links to suggested configs. I went back through the configuration on the R810 (Windows 2008R2) from scratch. This did not produce any different results. I then  updated all NIC drivers (BCM5709Cs) and firmware on all hosts, properly rebooted the MD3000i and both MD1000s, power-cycled both HP Procurve 1400 switches, and rebooted ALL hosts. I still can't ping RC0. I putty'd in and captured the boot logs from RC0 but there was nothing obvious to me. Here are the boot logs: -=<###>=-Attaching interface lo0... doneAdding 9768 symbols for standalone.Error03/26/13-16:44:29 (GMT) (tRootTask): NOTE:  I2C transaction returned 0x0423fe00WARNING: Reset by alternate controllerCurrent date: 03/26/13  time: 09:26:15Send for Service Interface or baud rate change 03/26/13-16:44:46 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  SOD Sequence is Normal, 003/26/13-16:44:46 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  SOD: removed SAS host from index 003/26/13-16:44:46 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  In iscsiIOQLIscsiInitDq.  iscsiIoFstrBase = 0x003/26/13-16:44:46 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  Turning on tray summary fault LED03/26/13-16:44:48 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  SYMBOL: SYMbolAPI registered.esmc0: LinkUp event 03/26/13-16:44:50 (GMT) (tNetCfgInit): NOTE:  Network Ready03/26/13-16:44:51 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  Initiating Drive channel: ioc:0 bringup03/26/13-16:44:54 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  IOC Firmware Version: 00-24-63-0003/26/13-16:45:17 (GMT) (tSasEvtWkr): NOTE:  sasIocPhyUp: chan:0 phy:0 prevNumActivePhys:2 numActivePhys:203/26/13-16:45:17 (GMT) (tSasEvtWkr): NOTE:  sasIocPhyUp: chan:0 phy:1 prevNumActivePhys:2 numActivePhys:203/26/13-16:45:17 (GMT) (tSasEvtWkr): NOTE:  sasIocPhyUp: chan:1 phy:2 prevNumActivePhys:2 numActivePhys:203/26/13-16:45:18 (GMT) (tSasEvtWkr): NOTE:  sasIocPhyUp: chan:1 phy:3 prevNumActivePhys:2 numActivePhys:203/26/13-16:45:18 (GMT) (tSasCfg021): NOTE:  Alt Controller path up - chan:0 phy:18 itn:103/26/13-16:45:18 (GMT) (tSasCfg022): NOTE:  Alt Controller path up - chan:1 phy:16 itn:203/26/13-16:45:18 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  discoveredEncl: enclosure:1, enclProp: x2c50104, trayId: 2, slotCount: 1503/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  IonMgr: Drive Interface Enabled03/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  SOD: Instantiation Phase Complete03/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  Inter-Controller Communication Channels Opened03/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  New Initiator:  1 - channel: 1,devHandle: x2c, SAS Address: 590b11c41a9d8b0003/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (tSasDiscCom): NOTE:  SAS Discovery complete task spawned03/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  LockMgr Role is Slave03/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  discoveredEncl: enclosure:1, enclProp: x2c9516c, trayId: 2, slotCount: 1503/26/13-16:45:19 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  New Initiator:  2 - channel: 0,devHandle: x1a, SAS Address: 590b11c41a9d8b0103/26/13-16:45:21 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  discoveredEncl: enclosure:2, enclProp: x2c8f730, trayId: 1, slotCount: 1503/26/13-16:45:21 (GMT) (sasCheckExpanderSet): NOTE:  Expander Firmware Version: 0116-e05c03/26/13-16:45:21 (GMT) (sasCheckExpanderSet): NOTE:  Expander SAS address: Hi = x5848f694 Low = xf6ac8d1003/26/13-16:45:21 (GMT) (tSasDiscCom): WARN:  SAS: Initial Discovery Complete Time: 33 seconds03/26/13-16:45:21 (GMT) (IOSched): NOTE:  discoveredEncl: enclosure:2, enclProp: x2c66ad4, trayId: 1, slotCount: 1503/26/13-16:45:22 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  spmEarlyData: Using data from alternate03/26/13-16:45:22 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  WWN baseName 00040026-b95795de (valid==>SigMatch)03/26/13-16:45:23 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  ionEnableHostInterfaces is waiting for a channel to become ready03/26/13-16:45:26 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  ionEnableHostInterfaces waited 3800ms for a channel to become ready03/26/13-16:45:26 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  IonMgr: Host Interface Enabled03/26/13-16:45:26 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  SOD: Pre-Initialization Phase Complete03/26/13-16:45:47 (GMT) (tRAID): NOTE:  ACS: autoCodeSync(): Process start.
