NOTE:
If the system is Powered-On then wait for around
15 minutes for complete boot-up.
How do I know if the Left Controller and/or the Right Controller are powered on by
looking at the outside of my StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage appliance?
There is no auditory or visual way to tell by looking at the front or back of your
StorTrends Dual Controller IP-SAN storage appliance other than the following method:
Method 1
:
Connect to ManageTrends using the IP address as printed at the back of the StorTrends
server for NIC-1 of both the controllers. If there is a problem while connecting to labeled
IP addresses, then there may be some issue with the corresponding controllers, use
Method 2 instead.
Method 2:
A good way to discover if one or both controllers are powered on (or off) is by logging
into each controller's built-in IPMI. The IPMI will give you the power status of the
controller. Not only can you check if the controller is powered on (or off), but you will
have the ability to remotely control the power to the controller. You will also be able to
view its screen (as if you were standing in-front of it, looking at the monitor display).
See Appendix A, Accessing controllers through IPMI, at the end of this document for
more information.
STOP!
Please write down the static IP address of both the controllers which is printed at the
back of the StorTrends® Server appliance.
These will be used for connecting to ManageTrends, which is the management station
for StorTrends sever appliance.
