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 field, 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 field, 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 field 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.
