The lease expiration displays the following status for each controller:
Reservation (active)
If the lease expiration for the controllers is inactive, try refreshing the list. If the lease
is still inactive, check the following:
Are the IP addresses allocated for BOOTP conflicting?
■
Were the correct MAC addresses added to the DHCP server for the controllers?
■
Are the DHCP server and storage array on the same subnet?
■
Is the gateway configured correctly on the DHCP server?
■
The controllers can gain a lease and an IP address, but they cannot respond out of
the subnet for the software if the gateway is not configured properly.
Are the controllers set up for BOOTP access?
■
It is possible that they were previously configured to have static IP addresses. You
must be sure when you move an array that you change the array's IP addresses to
IP addresses on the new subnet before setting up BOOTP services.
