Array AF-999999 could not validate the subscription using the cloud console
If the array is unable to connect:
•
Verify that the firewall rules allow the array to connect with HPE.
•
Check the DNS and proxy settings on the array.
Network connectivity is required from the Data Orchestrator to Data Services Cloud Console. Network time protocol servers
(NTP) must be configured on the Data Orchestrator and must be allowed to be in sync with global time services. DNS
name resolution must be configured on the Data Orchestrator and be allowed to resolve global Internet names and domains.
The Data Orchestrator will periodically transmit health and statistical telemetry over HTTPS/TLS.
If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact support.
Network Considerations
In preparation for installing your storage array, information in this section will help you:
•
Determine your network topology
•
Plan for the configuration of IP Addresses
•
Identify options for subnets, including (for iSCSI):
•
Discovery IP addressing
•
IP address zones
•
Traffic assignments
•
Understand data connections to your iSCSI or Fibre Channel array through Interface Pairs
Use the Installation Checklist to note all information required before installing your array. For more information, refer to the
GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide.
Network Topology
When you initially configure the arrays, you are prompted to choose a network topology. The selection that you make enables
the setup wizard to assist in making the optimal networking choices:
•
One shared network
•
Two dedicated networks
•
Advanced network configuration
•
Dual Fabric Fibre Channel
Important: The following diagrams are conceptual examples of the network connections you might use for each
topology. These diagrams are not intended to show a complete set of connections.
One Shared Network
In this configuration, the management and data traffic share the same physical network interfaces. If more than one switch is
used in this configuration, the switches must be connected to each other by an inter-switch link or trunk port, or they must
be configured in a single switch stack if supported by the switch manufacturer. You may want to consider this configuration
if you have only one network or if your data traffic is low enough that adding management traffic does not affect the LAN.
