XCP-NG test if your storage is routed

4th February 2026

on a host console

yum install traceroute

lookup the IP of your storage

traceroute (IP of your storage)

If the output has more than 1 line, your path to the storage is routed
aka if your internal router ever goes offline, you are going to loose connection to all your storage.

i have found that XCP usually communicates outbound over the management vlan and follows network routing to your storage, even if you have a Tagged vlan native to the storage network.
