Hello,
I am fairly new to the netapp world. I can't get the bottom controller to connect to the network as it cannot find e0a, e0b, e0c, and e0d. The top controller works perfectly fine. It displays e0a, e0b, e0c, and e0d. I tried to replicate the /etc/rc and /etc/hosts from the top controller to the bottom one, but when I use the command ifconfig -a it still does not show e0a, e0b, e0c, e0d. I even looked in the Loader prompt and when I used "show devices" on both controller, I notice the top one showed all the e0- and the bottom one only displayed e0P. Not really sure what why. I even try reseting the entire bottom controller because I saw on another forum that, that may help, but I still get the same result. When I try to perform the setup command in the bottom controller's console. When I am supposed to be prompt this question:
Please enter the IP address for Network Interface e0a []:
I get this repeated loop message:
No IP address specified. Please set an IP address.
NOTE: Dedicated management ports cannot be used for data
protocols (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI, NDMP or Snap*),
and if they are configured they should be on an isolated management LAN.
The default route will use dedicated mgmt ports only as the last resort,
since data protocol traffic will be blocked by default.
I tried for a good 30 minutes to get out of this loop error but no matter what button I pressed nothing would work. My assumption on why I am getting this constant error message is because it cannot detect the e0a port, but I am not sure how to make it detect or the reason why it cannot detect it but the top one was able to without any problem.
