If the lease expiration for the controllers is inactive, try refreshing the list. If the lease is still inactive, check the following:
■Are the IP addresses allocated for BOOTP conflicting?
■Were the correct MAC addresses added to the DHCP server for the array controllers?
■Are the DHCP server and array on the same subnet?
■Is the gateway configured correctly on the DHCP server?
The RAID controllers can gain a lease and an IP address, but they cannot respond out of the subnet for the software if the gateway is not configured properly.
■Are the RAID controllers set up for BOOTP access?
It is possible that they were previously configured to have static IP addresses. You must be sure when you move an array that you change the array’s IP addresses to IP addresses on the new subnet before setting up BOOTP services.
