CL 380 CR3500 utility cannot identify drives

pat_86 — Thu, 07 Oct 2004 16:47:03 GMT

I configured 2 nodes of CL 380 with networking on win2k advanced for a test cluster set up. All times CR3500 was shut down. When i fire node 1 and then try configuring the CR3500 utility it comes up with an error - cannot find drives.

When i go to the boot sequence i do not see the CR 3500 coming up any where in the boot sequence. However when i see the system info using F10 --> inspect data ---then i see 2 CR3500 entries each connected to Slot 2 (Port1).

Hi

I played with the diagnostic utilities and a restart now is able to get me to see the all the shared drives through the CR3500 utility. Wonder how can a diagnostic run resolve the issue.
