Greetings

We recently bought 3 x pre-owned X210 nodes along with 2 x Infiniband switches and are having a lot of set-up issues.

After we cabled everything up to the switches we switched all the nodes on to decide if we should start with whatever the last user had (probably not) or re-image and start again from scratch.

First (and consecutive) boots using the current set-up and we get stuck at the same spot every single time. This is where it hangs:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So we decided to bite the bullet and re-image OneFS. Followed the download instructions and first time tried 9.3.0.5. Then we that failed we tried an earlier version (JIC) of 9.2.0.1. Both failed with the same error message - one two different nodes (which is really weirding me out):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, given that this is our first Isilon rodeo, can anyone suggest what we can try from here? We're trying to get official Dell support but as yet they have not managed to transfer the registration these nodes to us, therefore we can't get service or support of any kind. We're happy to wipe the entire lot and set up again.

Thanks

Nigel.
