    I have similar problem with LSI MSM.

    As long as we had Open-E DSS v6, remote LSI MSM could connect to appropriate mgmt IP on storage and logon to LSI RAID controller inside storage.
    Now, when we are testing DSS V7 trial on the same system, remote LSI MSM doesn't report any LSI controller on the same mgmt IP on the storage.
    Just like there is somekind of firewall activated, or something else.

    Please read again what I wrote before.
    Of course we had MSM setup not to discover anything and entered the ip manually.

    Again what we did:

    We changed the PASSWORD for the user "raid" in DSS V7 WEBGUI in Setup/Hardware Raid,
    which made the system unaccessable for MSM !
    And this is not reversible !

    We have two DSS V7. Lucky, that we did the password change only on one system,
    the other system is still accessible via MSM by user "raid" password "raid" as the first system was before.

    When you start MSM, is it listing both nodes as available to connect to?
    This is the problem, force it to list only one, and you should be able to log in. Clear the favorites list, so listing only a single node.

    Indeed.
    Something has happened in the latest release of MSM.

    Guess they need to go back to the drawing board on that fix...... it is obviously affecting more OS's than vmware.
