Initial Discovery takes ages
Hello Community, im new to the SC Storage Series. I was told by coworkers that it takes the storage at least an hour from power on until it is discoverable. Im really wonder why ? The documentation says something between 5 - 20 minutes. Is anyone able to shed some light to this ? Because it eats up a lot of time, especially when i have to set them up during a business trip in a branch office. Kind regards

Hello MartinForster,
When you first power on your Compellent for the first time, it will take some time to be fully up as it is having to load quite a few things in the background. What you want to make sure of is that you don’t power it off at anytime while it is loading as if that is done then you can brick the SCOS & you will need to call into support so that we can get the system unstuck and reload the SCOS. In most case that I have worked with customers it takes about 15-30min for the system to be up & allow you to configure it on first time power on.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
