Question

What should I check first if Channel 5 & 6 of DSA E2800 are showing as disconnected?

Answer

Scenario:

• There are iSCSI ports that go to the switch
• When using Configuration Manager: in the Network > iSCSI tab: Channel 5 & 6 are showing disconnected and the unit cannot be added to BVMS Configuration Client

1. Verify if the expansion slots are connected correctly (page 21)
2. Afterwards, wait a few minutes until they load up, and only then start the DSA S2800.
3. Now, you can check in the Configuration Manager to see if the IP addresses need to be changed.
4. Once you verify that they are correct, you can add the Device in Configuration Client.
