Hi,

I've here two storage systems with Open-E DSS. The hardware is 100% identical. The only difference are the versions of Open-E:

System 1: 5.0.DB49000000.3278
System 2: 5.0up60.7102.3511 32bit

System 1 has some volumes online and can't be stopped.

Volume replication via a single backbone cable is activated. On the consoles, the systems can be ping each other via that backbone link (where unique, non-routed IPs are used)

I created a 16GB iSCSI volumes with replication flag on each system and marked the one on the newer system 2 as source, the other one on the older system 1 as target for volume replication.

Problem: When I scan on system 2 for the corresponding replication volume of system 1, no volume is found => no replication task can be created.

Remark: I've here another twin system with lots of running replications tasks, constructed in the same manner. It works well, but both of these twins have the same (old) version 5.0.DB49000000.3278 ...

Maybe a problem of replication between the different versions of system 2 and 1? Should not be, but I've looked around and couldn't find a misconfiguration.

Regards,

Robert
