Routing Changes? New route not being respected

Question

I changed the default GW for all the members of a group. Traffic is still flowing, but a traceroute from the CLI has traffic going to the old router before turning around and getting re-routed to the proper router. It looks like the SAN learned a particular route, and is not updating it's routing table. Will this timeout after a while? How do I view the group's route table?     Thanks,      Ed

I was able to get this issue solved today without having to reset the members. Dell support ran the following from a bash prompt:

route delete default old_default_IP

That cleared things up immediately.

Thanks,

All members are 6.0.2. As far restarting members I can't do that until I have an extended maintenance window.

After a chat with Equallogic support it seems that the only supported way to update the default GW is to failover the members. That seems a bit fishy - Anyone have a better plan?

I did learn that the routing table can be viewed with a 'su exec nstat_test -r'. This did confirm that the members are using an incorrect gateway address.
