My organization was recently given a PowerVault TL4000 to use for backups from CommVault. We've been able to get the device configured so that we are able to access the Libraries and Firmware. However we are unable to access the SCSI Bridge. We've spoken to the old organization we acquired the hardware from and they don't have the configurations in order to restore and rebuild the device. We were wondering if there is a way to manually reset the ISCSI Bridge, so that we can access the device and configure it to work with our network.
What you will need to do first is to login to your iSCSI bridge. Once you are logged in then you can go to the Load/Save Configuration & select Restore Factory Defaults.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
If you connect a laptop to the left side network port on your iSCSI bridge, and use the default IP address of 10.10.10.10 can you get to the login page of your iSCSI bridge? If you do, then you should get a login to access the bridge. If you don’t remember the password to access the bridge then we will need to know what the challenge code is so that we can provide you with the response key. To get the challenge code you will need to type DELLSUPPORT as the password and it will provide you with the challenge key. You will need to send me a private message with the code so that I can respond with the response key.

Have you tried to connect to the second port on your bridge to see if you can access it, or do you just have a single network port on your bridge? Are you getting any link lights on your bridge when the cable is plugged in?
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Just want to make sure that you can’t access either port on the iSCSI bridge when you are direct connected using a laptop, server, or when connected to a switch? Also, when you changed the IP address did you also change the subnet mask & gateway? In most cases you should be able to connect again when the link lights are blinking if all was changed. There is not a way to reset a iSCSI bridge back to factory without getting into the software of the bridge.

We would need to look at a drive dump from your drive and the service dump from your TL. If you login to the web utility for your TL2000, & go to the Service Library menu, then select Save Drive Dump. You will have an option of where to save the log on your local machine. I will send you a private message so that you can send me the log. Also, if you can provide me a service dump log as well. To get the service dump you go to the view logs tab. You should show a button that says Save Service Dump. If you don’t have that button then select the view button, & then the Save Service Dump should show.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
