Need help with Dell Storage Manager not being able to connect to EQL PS Group
I recently upgraded our Data Collector and Enterprise Manager Client to Dell Storage Manager 2016 R2 [Build: 16.2.1.228]. With this new version, Dell added the ability to connect to Equallogic PS series arrays, so long as they are on the right firmware.
I have two PS arrays that I want to add to Storage Manager. The first one is a PS4110 array in our M1000E chassis. I was able to add that PS group to Storage Manager. But when I try to add the PS6210X, I get an error that says "unable to add PS Group". No other information is provided. Both arrays are on the same firmware version 7.17. I can ping the problem array from the server that runs the data collector. If Java was installed, I could even access the web gui of that array using IE. Both of those arrays management IP's are on the same subnet.
What am I missing?
I posted this on the Compellent forum and didn't get any replies so I'm posting it here as well.

Yes, the banner was modified and turned on. I have turned it off. I still wasn't able to connect to the PS group in DSM. I have rebooted the server running Data Collector to see if that will resolve the issue.
I have not yet opened a case with support on this yet. If I am still unable to after trying any suggestions here, I will open a case.
Thanks,
Derek

I unchecked the "show banner before login" option. I will clear out the banner as well.

Looks like clearing the banner fixed the issue. Need to test one more thing related to Kaspersky Security Center. But I'm connected now. Thank you.
