Update to my previous problem with my 18000....I now dont have any problems yippee !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again to SaFeHeX for the step by step suggestions, i tried each one and still could not gain access to the snap ( using firefox in windows server 2003 ), but, because of the support from SaFeHeX i just couldnt give up and kept trying everything! In the end nothing worked.....BUT.....as i was about to give up forever and throw the thing out of my 9th story bedroom window i tried the last thing that was left to try, i set up a "cluster" and bingo, i suddenly could gain access!!!!!!!!
I am guessing (because i do not really know what i am doing most of the time, lol! ) that the domain could see, and access, the other server and workstations because they were all using the same windows based protocals, where as the snap uses a linux based one, and so changing the domain to a "cluster" allowed other protocal based servers to become accessible as it opened the door to all.Is this right?
Lol i will now try and connect up the array (never used a fibre optic connection before either), and then try making the array visible and accessible to the rest of the domain machines....Lol, like i said i have managed to actually access the snap ,actually being able to use it now i have access is a whole new experience i will have to see for the first time, but, i at least now have access,thank you SaFeHeX without your helpful and easy to read response i would have never probably even tried again.
Anyone else having problems accessing thier 18000 create a "cluster" domain at least until you have gained access to the snap to configure the Raid and "volumes" (lol or partitions as i knew them before yesterday! ).
Thank you again SaFeHeX, and all at procooling you help were NO-ONE else does!!!!!!!!
