I am assisting a client with problem with DS Storage Manager communicating with a DS3524 SAN. It looks like the IP addresses assigned to the management interface we apart of a DHCP scope. Other computer took the IP address and now the Storage Manager can't connect to the SAN&gt; The client has released the IPs in DHCP. <br />
<br />
User was able to telnet momentarily to the SAN but lost connection shortly after. We feel that the unit may be in lockdown mode. The disks are still fine and data is being read / written to.<br />
<br />
If we issue the loadDebug and lemClearLockdown commands, will it affect only the management controller or the storage controllers? Will it interrupt data being written to or read to the disks?

DS Storage Manager can't access DS3524

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
