Troubleshooting: Your Storage Array Software

• ping <host-name>
• ping <RAID controller module-IP-address>

7 If the verification is successful, see step 8, if not, see step 9.
8 Remove the storage array with the Unresponsive status from the EMW,

and select

Add Storage Array to add the storage array again.

9 If the storage array does not return to Optimal status, check the Ethernet

cables to make sure that there is no visible damage and that they are

securely connected.

10 Make sure the appropriate network configuration tasks are performed. For

example, make sure that IP addresses are assigned to each RAID controller

module.

11 If there is a cable or network accessibility problem, see step 20, if not

step 12.

12 For an in-band managed storage array, make sure that the host is network

accessible by using the ping command to verify that the host can be

reached. Type one of these commands, and press <Enter>.
• ping <host-name>
• ping <RAID controller module-IP-address>

13 If the verification successful, see step 14, if not, step 15.
14 Remove the host with the Unresponsive status from the EMW, and select

Add Storage Array to add the host again.

15 If the host does not return to Optimal status, go to step 16.
16 Ensure that the host is turned on and operational and that the host

adapters are installed.

17 Check all external cables and switches or hubs to make sure that no visible

damage exists and that they are securely connected.

18 Make sure the host context agent software is installed and running.

If you started the host system before you were connected to the RAID

controller module in the storage array, the host context agent software is

not able to detect the RAID controller modules. If this is the case, make

sure that the connections are secure, and restart the host context agent

software.
