Asked by pccbryan in Computer Servers, Storage Technology
We have a HP DL380 G5 server that boots from a MSA500 box. There are no local hard drives on the HP server. The server boots perfectly from the MSA500 box that is connected with SCSI cables (I believe you would call it serial attached SCSI?). Our problem element is the new Drobo Pro storage box that we are connecting via iSCSI to a dedicated NIC on the server. We were able to get the Drobo Pro up and running on our Test server with no problems. The Drobo Dashboard software immediately recognizes the Drobo Pro box on the Test server. The main difference I see is that the Test server boots from local drives and is not attached to the MSA 500. I have swapped the network cards between Test and Production to rule out a broken NIC. Does anyone know if you can connect to an iSCSI device such as the Drobo Pro if you are already booting from a SCSI MSA500 box?
Both servers have the same internal hardware configurations, the only difference is that Production boots from the MSA500.
