Test Network Connectivity for an iSCSI Port

Test connectivity for an iSCSI I/O port by pinging a port or host on the network.

About this task

NOTE

: If multiple virtual fault domains (VLANs) are associated with the port, the physical fault domain is used for ping tests

issued from the Hardware tab. To test network connectivity for a VLAN, initiate a ping test from a physical port in a fault domain

on the Storage tab.

Steps

1 If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.

2 Click the Storage tab.

3 In the Storage tab navigation pane, select Fault Domains, then click the Front End Ports subtab.

4 Double-click the desired IO port.

The Hardware tab for the I/O port opens.

5 Click Ping Address.

The Ping Address dialog box opens.

6 If the port uses an IPv4 address, in the IPv4 Address eld, type the IP address of the host to which you want to test connectivity.

7 If the port uses either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, in the IP Address eld, type the IP address of the host to which you want to test

connectivity.

8 From the Ping Size drop-down menu, select a size in bytes for the ping packets, not including overhead. If you select Other, type a

value between 1 and 17000 bytes in the eld below the menu.

NOTE

: The Ping Size drop-down menu might not be displayed depending on the hardware I/O cards used by the Storage

Center.

9 Click OK. A message displays the results of the test.

10 Click OK.
