Path status and examples of recovery procedures (XP512/XP48 Disk Arrays)

Table 23

shows examples of recovery procedures when the path status is not normal. When the path

status is not normal, see

Troubleshooting External Storage XP

and this table to recover the path status. If

you cannot restore the path, contact your HP account support representative.

Table 23 Path status and examples of recovery procedures (XP512/XP48 Disk Arrays)

Path status

Examples of recovery procedures

External device setting changed

LUN Manager may have changed the LU paths' settings.
Check the LU paths' settings. If the LU paths' settings changed, change

the settings back to the ones used when the volume was mapped.

Or use External Storage XP to perform the Delete LU operation, and

perform the Add LU operation again.

Illegal request

The volume may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,

Continuous Access XP, or another copy program. If the volume is set as

a pair volume, the volume might be protected because of the pair status.

If the volume is protected, change the pair status or delete the pair.

Response error

The volume may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,

Continuous Access XP, or another copy program. If the volume is set as

a pair volume, the volume might be protected because of the pair status.

If the volume is protected, change the pair status or delete the pair.
There is a problem with connection to the external array. The following

are possible causes:

The fibre cable is not connected properly.

The topology setting between the external and target ports does

not match.

If the external array is connected through switches, the switches'

settings might not be appropriate.

Check if the fibre cable is connected properly, and use LUN Manager

to set the Fibre Channel port properly.

Cannot detect port

Hitachi SANtinel may have set LUN security.
Check if LUN security is enabled. If LUN security is enabled, disable

LUN security.

Connecting HP 200 Storage Virtualization System as external

storage

When connecting an HP 200 Storage Virtualization System (SVS200) as the external array, you must

set the SVS200 port to a host group for Windows hosts (host mode 0C: Windows or host mode 2C:

Windows Extension).
Also, the SVS200 port attribute must be “target” (for an External Storage XP connection) or “RCU target

port” (for a Continuous Access XP connection).

NOTE:

If you are using microcode that does not support the SVS200, the SVS200 is recognized as an XP12000

Disk Array. To recognize the connected external array as the SVS200, use the microcode version that

supports the SVS200 (which is microcode version 50-07-0X-XX/XX or higher). If you used an earlier

microcode version that does not support the SVS200 to map the SVS200 volumes, delete the mapping

setting, and then change the microcode version to the one that supports the SVS200.
