Uneven number of LUNs are mapped to the host

group.

LUN size is below the minimum required size.

Less than minimum number of required LUNs.

Workaround

If wrong SAN IPs are used while running the NAS IDU:

1. Verify that the MD discovery IP used while running

the NAS IDU is on the same subnet as one of the two

SAN IPs configured on your controllers.

2. To verify MD discovery IP, log in to your NAS

Manger IP using CLI and run the following

command:system maintenance luns

configuration iscsi-view

This command shows the MD discovery IP.
If the IP is not in the same subnet as the IPs configured for

your SAN, change the MD discovery IP to one of the

subnets defined on your controller's SAN A and B.
If wrong IQNs are used while defining hosts in MDSM,

verify that the IQNs displayed in MDSM match the

controller IQNs. To verify the controller IQNs:
To change the discovery IP in the CLI, run the following

command:
system maintenance luns configuration

iscsi-set -iSCSIDiscoveryIPs

Address> none none

After the command is complete, refresh the host port

identifiers. You can now run the configuration wizard from

the NAS Manager again.

1. Compare if the IQNs displayed in MDSM are the

same as the ones under the Mappings tab in the

hosts section in the NAS Manager.

2. If there is a mismatch, correct the IQNs used for the

hosts in MDSM and try formatting the system. The

LUNs must be discovered and formatted.

If the issue is due to uneven number of LUNs:

1. If an error is encountered, verify that even number of

LUNs are mapped to the host group. An odd number

of LUNs is not supported. LUNs have to grow in pairs

starting from 2 to 16.

2. If uneven LUNs are used, correct the count by

adding or removing a LUN.

3. Try to format the system.

If the LUN size is below minimum requirements:

1. Verify that the LUNs are larger than the minimum

required size of 125 GB.

2. If the LUNs are less than 125 GB, change LUN size to

meet or exceed the minimum required size.

3. Try to format the system.

If the LUN count is below the minimum requirements:
