Hi
I have successfully setup an MD3600i connected via iSCSI to a HP Windows Server host with no problem a week or so ago.
The Host server can see the storage and is presented as a drive letter.
I've recently been happily storing files on this MD3600i via the host with no issues at all.
Today I've come to check on the array status and noticed the MDSM software is no longer listing the Storage array !
I've checked I can ping the IP addresses of the management connections (I have 2 controllers in this MD3600i) and the MAC addresses in our DHCP server for these IP addresses match up with the MAC addresses in the MDC Utility.
When I try and re-add the Storage Array in manually with the 2 controller IP addresses I see the message that the controllers were added successfully. However nothing shows up in MDSM.
When I try and re-add the Storage Array in via Automatic Discovery I see the message in the status bar saying 0 Storage Arrays found (or words to that effect)
Has anyone else come across this. i have no idea why the Array contollers would just drop out of the Management Console without being manually removed?
Thanks
