iSCSI and Lion Server problems?

Is anyone have trouble connecting to iSCSI devices? I upgraded to Lion and my Drobo Elite units were running fine. I installed Lion Server and now they can't connect over Ethernet. (I can still connect via USB to configure them, so they are functional).


I'm thinking Lion Server has shut off some service or port it needs. (Firewall off, uninstalled & reinstalled Drobo dashboard, using DHCP)

Yeah, the Drobo Elite connects just fine on Snow Leopard (non-server) workstations via iSCSI. And it was working when we upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. But when we upgraded that same Mac Pro from Lion to Lion Server, then the Drobo troubles began. I can still always connect via USB for admin. But Drobo doesn't let you transfer data via USB on the Elites. So it's iSCSI or nothing. And it has to be direct connected to that Mac because it's the server's Time Machine.

Sorry, taken me an age to get back to you. So I have an issue today - Dashboard quit unexpectadly apparenlty, sometime during the day. My DroboPro IS still connected and working fine though. I've re-launched Dashboard and it will not connect.


Do you use Drobospace forum? And have you opened a ticked on drobo.com? Probably worth doing both. I get the impression the Dashboard is a bit flakey but also that the changes in Lion and in Lion server specifically are quite significant, and without contacting the vendor we could be going around in circles.


Since opening up the firewall things have at least been working with iSCSI.


Did you update to 10.7.1?
