md3200 issues

First i am unable to connect through MD manager.  Do both management ports need to be configured and connected?  Enclosure shows up in 6g adapter but thats it.

Second, one encloure has a controller on lockdown.  Using Putty and unable to use clear command--or not sure when to use it.  After break and S, nothing happens.

    Hello, scsinuts.

    First, it is strongly recommended that you cable both management ports, yes. Here's a guide I think you'll find helpful. Starting on page 16 it will give you 'dual controller' configuration suggestions.

    Second, the lockdown mode is a little more tricky. There are several things that can result in a 'lockdown' on a controller, ranging from 'no big deal' to 'bricked box expensive paper weight'. SO, what we need is a screen capture of the boot screen. Using Putty, and your serial cable boot the controller (or reseat it) and capture the output to text, and send me that in an email. (I'll send you an email to which you can reply)

    Let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you.
