Raid Admin can’t connect to raid

[peterthorn]

I have a xserve G5 and a xraid, and have the following problem.
I have inserted a new disk in the raid, and open the Raid Admin in order to activate the harddisk. But I can’t connect to the raid. If I try to say Add system, it doesn’t show up, and I have also tried to connect to the raid using the IP address (which I got from scanning the network for the MAC address), but it still can’t find the raid. I have also tried to ping the raid but it doesn’t respond.
As the server and raid are connected with fibercables, I can see that it otherwise is running fine – the exsisting drives on the raid works fine on the server.

Any suggestions on how to connect to the raid? (hopefully without needing to restart too much).

TIA,
Peter

Connect an ethernet cable directly between a system, like your laptop, and the RAID itself. Bonjour will take care of the rest.

Ahh – why didn’t I think of that my self…
I’ll try it ASAP

Thanks,

Just to close it – it worked when I connected with my powerbook, and it turned out to be a hanging controller. When the raid was restarted, it worked again.
