Verifying Storage Array Discovery
The Automatic Discovery option automatically discovers both in-band and
out-of-band arrays and adds the storage arrays to the management domain. If the
out-of-band or in-band connections shown on the summary page are not
accurate, complete the following steps. For more information, see the Online
Help.
1 Check the hardware and connections for possible problems. For specific
procedures on troubleshooting interface problems, see the Owner's Manual
at support.dell.com/manuals.
2 Verify that the array is on the local subnetwork. If it is not, click the new
link to manually add it.
3 Verify that the status of each storage array is Optimal. If any array shows
an Unresponsive status, complete one of the following steps:
a To remove the array from the management domain, highlight the
array and then click Remove link.
b To add an array, click New link.
In Linux, click the
Manual button and click OK.
4 If the array still shows an Unresponsive status, contact Dell.
