Checking client access

Verify that your client workstation can successfully ping the full host name of the
cluster and all of the IP addresses that are associated with it.
About this task
The following example shows how to ping an cluster. When the client connects to
the host name of the cluster, the DNS server responds with IP addresses. You must
then ping each IP address from the client machine.
If clients cannot successfully ping the IP addresses, then they are not able to access
Storwize V7000 Unified whenever the DNS returns the IP address on name
resolution requests. This can cause some clients have access while others do not.
Procedure
1. To obtain the IP addresses of your Storwize V7000 Unified cluster, issue the

system). You can also run the chkauth -i command on the master system.
Note: Accessing the master Storwize V7000 Unified system (or chkauth -i
command) with a user creates the ID mapping information on the system.
Although, any user from the domain can be used to create the ID maps, it is
advisable (refer to idMapConfig option of cfgad CLI command) to use the same

Note: You can use the scp command to transfer the XML file from master
Storwize V7000 Unified system to the subordinate Storwize V7000 Unified
system. Use the cfgidmap command to import the ID map XML file. The XML
file must be at the /ftdc/files folder.
