Eva4400: some beginner question

[uxbeginner22]

Please help if you can.

My first SAN is coming at home today,i have connected contrller left1 to disck right2

and controller right1 to disck left2,then i did the same with controller left2 to disck right1

and controller right2 to disk left1.

Another question,how to put the management module?

Seems a bit out of the case and don't wanna force/broken.

[uxbeginner22]

first problem solved: management control was a littly crooked

[uxbeginner22]

I have some errors

The disk shelf is 04(mean no link?)

the module say "unknown"

i have connect as this

c1=controller

c2=controller2

1=left

2=right

d1=disk shelf1

d2=disk shel2


c1-1-------------------------d1-1

c1-2------------------------d2-2

c2-1-------------------------d1-2

c2-2------------------------d2-1

What's wrong?

[uxbeginner22]

I have tried as manual said to connect DP1B with I/O BP2 and BP1A with I/O AP2

I have this results

"cell is in unknow state" from https module management

And two strange thing "04" on disk shelf and one module(the other

is amber blinkin) with connection led dark

Is something broken?

[uxbeginner22]

My module is similar to this,had a blinking amber on ! led ,mean total failure?No way to recover?

[Torsten.]

The "04" is the number of the disk shelf, no error code.

Are you able to connect to the management module?

Is this a used array? Is it currently uninitialized (check from command view)?

This is how you cable the backend

[uxbeginner22]

I make the cable correctly now,green green red red as your image said

This is the answer of managemente module

"his controller is inoperative because its FC loops or backplane mirror loops are inoperative. Correct the situation and click Restart to continue operation."

[Torsten.]

This could be a hardware problem with either one of the controllers or the chassis itself. I would try to bring the array to life with a single controller first (CTRL1), the test with the other controller (e.g. swap them around etc).

Using command view initialize the array, do some setup, then insert the other controller.

[uxbeginner22]

I will try

Very strange thing.

I see different message for different browser(must be same for all browsers)
