Hi all,
I've got an odd issue on an old P2000 G3 MSA storage system. It has 2 controllers both of which are working fine and a number of expansion units (again all working as expected). I noted that it was reporting that controller B's network management port was 'degraded' . Sure enough 'show system' is reporting the system as degraded and I can see a red X against the controller B manangement port. Show FRUS however says alll subcompoents are in OK state, show controllers again is fine, show cache-parameters is OK,... I can also connect to the system over ssh on both controllers. What I can't seem to do is connect to the WEBUI on controller B. I've tried restart MC to see if that helps. No. I've also run ping tests from both controllers.
Controller A can ping its gateway with no issues. It can also ping controller B. Controller B however is reporting it cannot or can only intermittently ping the default gateway and it's partner controller A.
So all a bit odd really. If it was failed I'd expect no access at all, yet I can ssh onto it.
Both controller are running TS230P006 which I am guessing is pretty old however we had not seen any issues until recently.
My next plan is probably to fail everything onto controller A and then re-seat controller B to see if the issue clears. If not I guess the next step is a new controller but given the issues I've had in the past being sent controllers with way newer firmware and then having the controllers refuse to talk to each other that will be a last resort.
If anyone has seen this type of issue before or has any suggestions it would be most welcome.
thanks
Ad.
