Test Network Connectivity for an iSCSI Port in a Fault Domain

Test connectivity for an iSCSI physical or virtual I/O port by pinging a port or host on the network.

1. If you are connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the drop-down list in the left navigation pane of Unisphere Central.
2. From the SYSTEM menu, click Ports.
   The Ports view is displayed.
3. Click the Front End Ports tab.
4. Expand iSCSI, then select the physical port for which you want to test connectivity.
5. Click (More Actions) and select Ping.
   The Ping dialog box opens.
6. Type the IP address of the host to which you want to test connectivity.
   • If the host uses either IPv4 or IPv6 addressing, type the IP address of the host to which you want to test connectivity in the IP Address field.
   • If the host uses IPv4 addressing only, type the IPv4 address in the IPv4 Address field.
7. 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 appear depending on the hardware I/O cards used by the Storage Center.
8. Click OK. A message displays the results of the test.
