Checking an external LU's status (LDEV Information)
After mapping an external LU as a local array internal LDEV, the external LU is available for operations
in External Storage XP, Flex Copy, and other HP StorageWorks products that support mapped external
LUs. Use the LDEV Information window (
) to check the status of mapped external LUs.
When a failure occurs in the path between the local array and external array, and also in the specified
alternate paths, the local array recognizes the external LU as blocked (Blockade). To restore the
blocked volume, execute the Restore command on the LDEV Information window.
Obtaining information about external LUs
The LDEV Information window displays information about external arrays and external LUs mapped
as internal LDEVs. To display this window, select the external LU group number in the Device list,
right-click the LU you want to display in the Device list, and select LDEV Information.
