HF40 / Add array to group failed

[J-Philippe]

Hello, having two new HF40 Nimble / Nimble 6.0.0.300-956221-opt deployed in 2 locations. 

To enable Peer Persistence, I need to add one array to the other to have a single group of 2. Very simple in fact.

Strange thing is that I'm getting this error despite that all "green" regardig the controler of the array. I've try in both direction A join B or B join A I face the same issue :

Array cannot be added

Arrays in solo mode on source group. / Contact HPE Nimble Storage Support.

If any have an idea. 

Best Regards,

Jean-Philippe

Ok my mistake, both array were having the same group name. Changing the group name of one make the error disappear but another occurs : Failed to fetch and load group config DB.

pffft, it was because MGT traffic wasn't have data traffic type allowed despite that another subnet dedicated to data was created... Nothing against Nimble but from my modest point of view there is no match betweean 3PAR and Nimble.

Hello @J-Philippe,

Yes. 3PAR and Nimble are entirely different products by built and OS running.
