6.3 HP StoreAll Storage Installation Guide (TA768-96085, April 2013)

Use ethtool <eth port> to detect the speed information. The port value for 9300/9320
systems is detected as described in the previous step. For 9730 systems, the ports are internal.
◦ If the speed of the NIC ports selected for bond creation is 10GB, use any two NIC ports
in bond mode 1.
◦ If the speed of the NIC ports selected for bond creation is 1GB, use four NIC ports in
bond mode 6.
• If these steps do not resolve the condition, use the text-based installation method to form the
cluster.
Adding or configuring a server fails with an error message that the IP address or host name
is already in use
Probable cause:
• If you are recovering a server, you cannot use the Getting Started Wizard to join the server
to the cluster. On the File Servers Page, the Configure and Remove buttons will be disabled.
If you attempt to add the server and enter its IP address, the following error message is
displayed:
<IP address> cannot be used to join that server to this cluster
because its IP address is already in use. If you are trying to
restore it, please use the local console.
• Further, if you select a discovered server and attempt to add the recovered server's IP address
or host name to it, a similar message is displayed:
<Host name> cannot be used to join that server to this cluster
because its <host name> host name is already in use. If you are
trying to restore it, please use the local console.
Troubleshooting steps:
1. Exit the Getting Started Wizard.
2. Use the local console (ASCII GUI Configuration wizard) to join the recovered server to the
cluster. See the procedure for recovering a file serving node in the Administrator Guide for
your platform.
Create a Default File System page
The default file system cannot be created
Probable cause:
• The file system mount operation failed.
• The specified volume group name already exists.
• The storage is not preformatted properly.
Troubleshooting steps:
• Determine if the file system was actually created. Run the ibrix_fs –l command. If the file
system exists but is not mounted, use the GUI or the following command to mount the file
system:
ibrix_mount -f FSNAME [-o { RW | RO } ] [-O MOUNTOPTIONS] [-h
HOSTLIST] -m MOUNTPOINT
• The storage might be unavailable. To determine the storage exposed to the server, run the
following command to discover devices:
ibrix_pv –a
