Fast Cache creation error on new VNX 7500 Block system
Dears
I am trying to configure the fast cache on new VNX 7500 block system but I am getting error, when I choose the disks manually i will get "invalid disk selection" error, when I choose the disks manually I will get "caught exception while issuing fail over request to peer- Error connectin SSL". The block system is 05.31.000.5.720 and still it's not connected to any host. one more thing I should say is when I logged in to SPB by unisphere it does not show any system but when I try to log in to https://SPB ip/setup it works fine.I think something wrong with SPB but when I log in to unisphere on SP A it does not show any error or fault on SP B. I checked the powerlink I only found 2 items one was related to bad IP setting on SPs and the other one because of dirty page watermark setting which none of them are my problem. please help me on this issue. The error screen shots are attached.
Something seems to be wrong either with SP B, or the connection between them
One thing you could try is to see if the array will allow you to change the SP Cache settings, which also requires both SP's to be online and in connection with each other.
Any ways Make sure you upgrade this before going into production, there is alot of enhancements in the newer code versions.
issue resolved but it was very strange, when I used another notebook it could connect to SP B and I could configure the fast cache, I tried to find out what was wrong with my notebook and I found out if I connect directly to SP A, Unisphere comes up but I cannot configure fast cache, if I connect to SP B after loging to Unisphere (took log time to log in) it does not show any storage system, but if I connect my note book through am mini hub to SP B, I could log in (but still log in process is slow) and I could configure fast cache. with my new notebook I could connect to Unisphere to each SP and I could connect fast cache without any problem but still log in process to Unisphere on SP B is slow. may be old notebook could not crossing the line and my new one can that's why my old notebook needs to be connected through the hub.

If its a new system why are you not on the latest VNX OE OS?
