The Firmware Version on both Controller's is up to date.<BR /><BR />Here my problem:<BR />After starting the MSA, I can't find it in the network. Going to the CLI, I can see 2 valid IP Adresses. If I start pinging them, I got no reply. After rebooting SC and MC, I get a ping, but only for a few seconds, then the MSA is again unreachable.<BR /><BR />What I've done so far:<BR />restore defaults<BR />set advanced-parameters partnerfirmware-update disabled<BR />booted up with only one controller<BR />set a manual ip adress<BR /><BR />Is it possible to update the firmware via CLI? FTP isn't possible because I loose network connection after a few seconds after rebooting...<BR /><BR />Any ideas???<BR /><BR />Thank you Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:46:59 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa2324g2-network-problem/m-p/4663418#M35525 ftepe 2010-07-20T08:46:59Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa2324g2-network-problem/m-p/4663419#M35526 Are you absolutely certain that no other device is trying to use the IP?<BR />(Cisco equipment often seems to 'forget' about renewing leased adresses after a while... )<BR /><BR />What's the port status on your network?<BR />Consider setting the speed/duplex manually for one of them to see if it stays online.<BR /> Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:55:47 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa2324g2-network-problem/m-p/4663419#M35526 Trygve Henriksen 2010-07-20T11:55:47Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/msa2324g2-network-problem/m-p/4663420#M35527 Yes I'm sure because it is in a test lab. There's only a 24 Port Switch (which is working well) and a firewall in front of it which is also the DHCP Server...<BR />On every reboot of the MSA, I get a new IP Adress. Setting the IP manually doesn't have any effect. I always get a new DHCP Adress which is reachable for around 15sec after reboot...
