DS8K fails config_check.sh

SteveS

Good afternoon,

We are adding two DS8870s to STOR2RRD per instructions: 
https://www.stor2rrd.com/IBM-SVC-Storwize-XIV-DS8000-monitoring.htm

(For preliminary steps, including configuration for only one DS8870 to comply with post length limit.)

All configuration steps completed successfully until final config_check.sh, which fails.

- dscli installation completed successfully.

- New stor2rrd accounts created on DS8870s (completed via DS8870 GUI).

- stor2rrd passwords stored for dscli:

I don't know what we're missing or doing wrong.

Any ideas, comments, feedback would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,

why do you use in command line this IP: 172.16.8.111 and in configuration this one: 192.168.8.111 ?

Hi Pavel,

I flunked my remedial reading class.

Thanks for spotting that.

config_check.sh now completes correctly.
