P4300 Status: Storage System Normal, Manager Starting/Stopping

I have the P4300 SAN starter edition and I am regularly seeing this status:

Status: Storage System Normal, Manager Starting/Stopping

I have 2 nodes and a failover manager vm running. I no longer have the option to stop or start the manager on this node. What could be causing this and where should I look to troubleshoot this?

We have a 4 node system and are seeing the same exact issue with the addition of 2 nodes. Also seeing error when initially clicking on new nodes (attached). They have not yet been added to the cluster

Which version of SANiQ do you have ?

Have you tried restarting the Storage Server ?
Through CMC or Manually ?

My issue was resolved by HP, they told me to turn off jumbo frames! Which seems to go against all best practice that I've read. But, it has worked, by p4300 has been rock solid since I turned off jumbo frames.

 

The managers both say started and have stayed at started.

 

Hope this helps.

Re: P4300 Status: Storage System Normal, Manager Starting/Stopping

Thanks ECCL. I had exactly the same problem. I resolved it by disabling jumbo frames. (Thanks !)

In my case I was setting up a new P4300G2 , 2-node cluster.

 

So, now the CMC allowed me to create the Management Group.

I wonder if it would be possible to enable Jumbo Frames now the Management group has been built.

I will let you know. But thanks for the solution.
