Hi Fazal,

You can reset the EQL (factory default) and re-configure it. It is my experience for the similar case.

Rgds,

Hello Everyone,

We have been head scratching about why both eth0 and eth1 of the Dell Equallogic ps-m4110 array are not available on our network. We have configured the array with no errors and both eth are up without errors but still not being able to assess the gui management page.

All the dell m620 blades can be pinged on the network including the m8024-k blade switch in both slot B1 and B2

Please any help or insight will be very much appreciated.

Thank you all in advance

Ransome

Hi All,

Please note: we have already applied reset to the equallogic array with no luck

Thanks

Hello, 

 By "reset" do you mean returned array to factory defaults and completely erased everything or you "restarted" the array. 

 iDrac is used to get to the serial console of the array controllers.   Not the EQL GUI. 

 Dedicated, "out-of-band" management is OPTIONAL.  You do not have to enable ETH1 Management port. 

 If you can't reach the iSCSI or Management ports that suggest you have a networking problem. Not an array problem. 

 Regards,

Don

Thank you Don.

problem resolved

Hello,
