VJBOD Automatic Reconnection
If a remote NAS gets disconnected, QTS automatically tries to reconnect to the NAS and recover the VJBOD
disk every 30 seconds.
Important
• To allow automatic reconnection, all NAS devices should be configured with static IP
addresses.
• The following things may prevent VJBOD connection or reconnection:
• Use of dynamic IP addresses
• Host IQN binding
• Firewalls of IP blocks
• Incorrect CHAP credentials
