How do I get CS300 Array Controllers Back in Sync?

deanbristow105 — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 16:23:02 GMT

I am in the process of configuring a CS300.

For some reason during initial set-up admin access was 'lost' whilst consoled on via controller A although controller B was still accessible using ‘admin/admin’, so I ran the ‘set-up’ command via the CLI and continued set-up using the GUI without any issues. However, it looks as though the two controllers are out-of-sync and controller A is showing as 'unknown' in the GUI and remains inaccessible via CLI.

I'd appreciate any help the community can offer.

Thanks!

Dean,

My first guess is there is a network configuration issue on controller A. I would verify that you can ping the ports on the A side.

Definitely open a case with support (877-364-6253 x2), they can help you troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks Patrick, it's certainly a strange one! Support are having look today and commented that it's "not expected behaviour" so fingers crossed it can be sorted.

I've seen it before where the unknown controller hasn't powered on - this is usually resolved by pressing the on switch once which powers up the controller

Support will check for this though and advise accordingly
