Hi Gary,

2 years ago i struggled about the same problem. Our 10GbE Swichtes comes with some delay and i was sitting in front of my new toys and find no way to play with them.

The MGMT network ist somewhat of "optional" that iam not sure if you can configure it during the initial setup. Later you will enable and setup the IPs of the MGMT Ports from the group configuration rather than on the single array.

To get the setup to move on i connect the eth0 directy to my poweredge server so the array recognize an link status. Maybe it was enought to connect one single cable into eth0 and eth1 on the same controller.  I select "eth0" and configure it for iscsi.

If you already have an existing group and just add a new memember the array would join to the group also when only one single iscsi port is configurated. The array comes visible in the groupmanager and you can move into into a test pool for finishing the configuration including the MGMT IP.

Questions:

Did you try to choose "eth2" when the setup ask you about the port? IIRC it does not work for me 2.5 years ago.

Regards

The management interface on this model is a dedicated 10/100MBs interface.  It’s identified as ETH2.

To setup using the CLI, you first configure the highest ETH interface on all members with an IP address from your management subnet pool and then setup the management network default gateway and management network group IP address:

The management interface is configure on the highest numbered Eth interface on the array, this must be on a different subnet than the iSCSI network.

You will manually assign the IP address to the highest ETH port, in your your case for the PS6010 this is ETH2 the dedicated Management Port.

>grpparams management-network show

(To verify the management network is not setup)

Select the interface ETH2

>member select member_name eth select 2

(the output will show the member name and the eth port number)

>show

(this displays the current configuration, you should also see  the ManagementStatus: enabled)

Assign the IP address from your management IP pool:

>ipaddress xx.xx.xx.xx

(Optional - remove the address use >ipaddress none)

>show

(this displays the current configuration, you should also see  the ManagementStatus: enabled)

Repeat this process for each member, ensure you use an IP address that is unique for each member.

Now exit from the eth interface setting

>exit

Now configure the default management gateway to the group

>grpparams def-mgmt-gateway ipaddress xx.xx.xx.xx

(Optional) To remove the default gateway to the management network:

>grpparams def-mgmt-gateway ipaddress none

Now assign the a Management network Group IP:

>grpparams management-network ipaddress  xx.xx.xx.xx

This is the management network address for the group.  The address must be on the same subnet as the management interfaces on the group members but different then then management interface addresses.  This is the address that you will use to connect to the array via the management network, similar to the Array group ip address.

Optional - to remove the management address use

>grpparams management-network ipaddress none

This is explained in much more detail in the the CLI manual as well.

in case anyone stumbles on this, there's a minor error with the above
"

Assign the IP address from your management IP pool:

>ipaddress xx.xx.xx.xx

"

needs to be ">ipaddress xx.xx.xx.xx netmask xx.xx.xx.xx" else it'll throw a missing parameter message
