Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 3 Various problems can arise when configuring and using the TC2201. This section is provided to help guide the user through some of the basic methods of identifying faults in the setup and configuration of the unit. Most problems are found in the initial installation. In general, it is wise to check all connections and review the configuration before proceeding with further trouble analysis.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Indicators Figure 44 TC2201 LEDs Ethernet Activity Power/fault iSCSI Link Status iSCSI Activity SCSI Activity for Bus 0 SCSI Activity for Bus 1 The LED functionality of the TC2201 is detailed below: • Power and Fault (Pwr)—This indicator is a bi-color LED. When green, this indicator shows that power is currently active. Lack of power indication suggests that the unit is turned off, a problem with the power supplied to the unit, or an internal problem with the unit.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Basic Verification Basic Verification Serial Port Problems 3 3 If you experience trouble communicating with the serial port, verify the configuration of the host terminal or terminal emulation program. The TC2201 requires the baud rate to be set correctly, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Flow control should be set to none or XON/XOFF, and may cause problems if set to ‘hardware’.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Basic Verification • SCSI Devices—Verify that the SCSI devices on a particular SCSI Bus can be seen in the by the TC2201. Check the Discovery page to verify visibility of devices. If the TC2201 can not see the devices, verify SCSI configuration, cabling, and termination. Even if the SCSI devices are displayed, they are not accessible unless the mapping mode is auto-assigned or another non-empty map is used.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Basic Verification Verify Devices 3 It may be useful to connect the SCSI target devices you are attempting to use to the native SCSI interface to verify that the devices are functional. SCSI target devices can be connected to a host SCSI bus to verify they are functional. Verify Host Configuration 3 In some cases, it may be that the iSCSI host bus adapter or host device driver may not be working properly. Check the configuration of these elements.
