Problem displaying output on MSA1000

Hi

Help needed, when i connect to our MSA1000 Array, and issue the commands, we dont get all the output display, only partion or sometime missing output shown below...


Here the ouput missing Disk101 thru 106???

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

We see this behaviour sometimes when using multiple CLI commands in a script. It seems to overrun the buffer on the terminal emulator. Solution was to enter one command, wait until the output finishes and then enter the next one.

Hopefully this helps.

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

Tried that, like you suggested, one CLI command at a time, the output still the same. :(

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

Hmmmm not sure at this point in time. When was the last time you rebooted the MSA and at what firmware level is it at?

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

Well, so far we haven't reboot the MSA1000 for awhile but only the server (rp4440) which connected to it for regular OS patching. We was able to access it before, just not recently. :(

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

What you are seeing is definitely some kind of "drop out". Are you using the proper cable for the MSA1000?

Re: Problem displaying output on MSA1000

I know,you are right, something is dropping out... we are using the RJ45Z cable which come with the MSA1000.

Not sure i any setting i can do to increase the buffer some where of if i have a bad cable. .will try out and let u know the result, thanks for the help.
