Hi All, It was a confilct on the original machine. I stripped off the openmanage and MD related software installed on it and reinstalled the latest versions, installing only the MDSM component of the tools, both MD3x00s were detected and and stay connected. What I think may have been causing the problem was an old MS iscsi initiator install, though I'm not really sure why. Thanks again, Laurence 
Hi Everyone, I have an MD3000i (latest available firmware) which is managed from a dedicated management PC using out of band connections (192.168.128.101 & 192.168.128.102). I have a new MD3200i which I want to be able to manage using the same management PC via out of band connections (default management ports changed to 192.168.128.201 & 192.168.128.202). I installed the latest version of the MDSM available for the MD3200i and that picked up the MD3000i without problem, I then connected up the MD3200i and it picked that up too, however, about a minute after the MD3200i being added, the MD3000i disappears from the MDSM and doesn't get picked up again. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get it working? The documentation I've read indicates that it should! Thanks, Laurence
