MD3420SAS - cant connect host
Hi,
I have a problem with R430 (Windows 2016) with 1 two-ports SAS card Avago 9300-8e and two-controllers MD3420 SAS.
Connection:
SAS card port 1 <-> MD array controller 0 port 1
SAS card port 2 <-> MD array controller 1 port 1
From storage management i cant see any active host port.
I update drivers for SAS card, add mpio from MD ResourceCD, set SAS mpio support and upgrade MD3420 firmware (with NVSRAM).
Any ideas why its not working?
EDIT: in MD3420 Hardware-Host Interfaces i see all ports down
Thanks

Hi,
Do the ports have link lights? Try the steps here http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/powervault-md3420/md3400md3420ompub/troubleshooting-array-and-expansion-enclosure-connections?guid=guid-b01c6feb-b735-4ff6-89f0-507690f133ad&lang=en-us
