andydis Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 hello everyone I have inherited a network and for the life of me cannot find the management IP of the SAN i believe its a HP MSA 2040 The servers connect to the ISCSI port on 192.168.20.253 and 192.168.20.252 but There are no vlans on the switches the switches are all on the same LAN (yes i know) the SAN is plugged into the switch via 2 x 10GB DAC and 2 x 1GB ethernets any ideas? i have scanned the network for ports 20,21,22,23,80,443 and still cannot find this san ?
network41 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 No clues in DHCP reservations , sometimes the mac address is on the unit , that might be of use
andydis Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 there are no DHCP reservations :-( (this network needs a bit of work doing) nmap doesn't show it. the only assumption i can think of its been put on a sperate IP/subnet without using vlans
mukz Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Have you tried using superscan? Worked great for me when i took over and the chaps had static IPs with no documentation [emoji20]
rich_tech Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 If its similar to our HP MSA 2000, you can also connect to it via a USB console cable and use Putty to connect and find these out. I had to do that when we switched our ranges and had to get them an allocation on the new DHCP as it went a bit wrong, I had to console in and then reset the two management network adapters using the CLI on our unit.
Gardinho Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) We have just installed a new MSA2040 and ran into the same issue. You need to just look in the DHCP Address Leases as both controllers will be listed as 'HP_MSA20xx' in there. P.S. You might need to Putty in to the unit and restart the management service on the controllers. Edited January 22, 2016 by Gardinho
andydis Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 There is not DHCP res starting HP_* i see the micro USB now on the back , do i need a special micro usb to usb cable/com port adaptor
dapaulio Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) It is likely that your san will be static addressed so wont show up in dhcp. Try angry ip to scan for live ip's then it will be a matter of process of elimination. If you can narrow down the ip range as much as you can it will reduce the labour of checking every ip that it returns. Assuming once you find the ip you have the credentials to log on to it. Good luck Edited January 24, 2016 by dapaulio
CyberNerd Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Run nmap What he said. scan a whole subnet if it's your network.
dapaulio Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Has the switch it's connected to got a routing table or any logs that may disclose ip traffic to it.
CyberNerd Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 If you can narrow down the ip range as much as you can it will reduce the labour of checking every ip that it returns. If you get the portscanner to just check the port that you are looking for it will speed things up immensely. nmap will do this.
dapaulio Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 I'm sure OP mentioned somewhere nmap didnt work for him
CyberNerd Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) I'm sure OP mentioned somewhere nmap didnt work for him yes I see that now. If it is on a network then nmap will find it, given the correct options. * caveat being the management interface has to be plugged into the same network! Edited January 24, 2016 by CyberNerd
