Unable to initialize VNX5100 Block
Hi,
I'm trying to initialize a new VNX5100 Block storage, and not having much luck with that.
What I've done is I connected the SPA/SPB mgmt ports to a hub and my laptop as well. I set my laptop IP as 128.221.1.249 and I'm able to ping the SPA and SPB. I installed UnisphereInitTool-Win-32-x86-en_US-1.3.3.1.0072-1.exe on my laptop (WIN7) and started the tool, but it is not able to discover the storage. I've turned off the firewall but no luck with that. I traced and I can see request from my laptop to destination port 2162 and can see both SPA/SPB sending response to port 2163, but the init tool does not discover the storage.
The VNX SW version I have is 05.32.000.5.215.
Any ideas how to discover the storage?
Thanks!

hi,
where did you connect your hub?
it should be on the management port, not the service lan port of both SPs (ip with 128.221.1...).
then you should set your laptop with an ip where the VNX will be in use...

Try disabling your wi-fi port. Also any End Point protection like Symantec.
You also need to set your laptop IP to an address on the subnet that you wish to set the VNX management ports to be on.
