Ethernet iSCSI host link problems

If you are having problems attaching to the Ethernet hosts, your problem might be related to the network, the SAN Volume Controller, or the host.

For network problems, you can attempt any of the following items:
  • Test your connectivity between the host and SAN Volume Controller ports.
  • Try to ping the SAN Volume Controller from the host.
  • Ask the Ethernet network administrator to check the firewall and router settings.
  • Check that the subnet mask and gateway are correct for the SAN Volume Controller host configuration.
For SAN Volume Controller problems, you can attempt any of the following items:
  • View the configured node port IP addresses by using the svcinfo lshost CLI command.
  • View the list of VDisks mapped to a host by using the svcinfo lshostvdiskmap command to ensure that the VDisk host mappings are correct.
  • Verify that the VDisk is online by using the svcinfo lsvdisk command.
For host problems, you can attempt any of the following items:
  • Verify that the host IQN is correctly configured.
  • Use operating system utilities (such as Windows® device manager) to verify that the device driver is installed, loaded, and operating correctly.
