Re: cannot ping/telnet from linux to storage (DS300 TotalStorage).

Do you have a DHCP server? If so,
check the leases file. Otherwise, I think this could be a firewall
problem
Definitely - this is not the problem.
I connect that DS300 directly to a linux machine. These 2 machines are
not connected
anywhere else.
And I also tried the following:
the same on connecter A
Pinging ALL ip addresses in the range 192.168.70.0-192.168.70.255.
and none answered (except the linux machine).
Any ideas?

Hello,
I connect the management port of controller B of IBM totalStorage
DS300 with a cross cable to a linux machine.
According to DS300 docs, the default IP address of controller B is
192.168.70.124/255.255.0.0.
see 4.4.1 Setup of management ports of TotalStorage DS300 and DS400
in
IBM TotalStorage - DS300 and DS400 / Best Practices Guide.
So I set the linux ip address to 192.168.70.1/255.255.0.0.

while pinging 192.168.70.124 , I power up controller B of
IBM totalStorage. I tried three times this power down and
power up; I get some answers for this ping (about 4 or 5)
and then there are no answers. Also of course there is no
telnet to 192.168.70.124.

Could it be that someone had changed the IP ?
an in case it is so - how can I see the real IP address ?

You say you get some responses to the ping and then you don't. Who could
have changed the IP in those seconds? Do you have a DHCP server? If so,
check the leases file. Otherwise, I think this could be a firewall
problem or the storage device may be defective. Does this device have
only a telnet interface and not a web interface? Did you try browsing
http://192.168.70.124 ?
