port and listing a command status state for each port. The Path test output identifies the controller
host ports by the controller worldwide name, not the host port worldwide ID.

The command status states are:

Ready—Commands can be accepted.

Busy—A command is currently being processed and no other commands can be accepted.

Waiting—Only part of the command has been processed.

Not Available—The controller software version does not support the Command Status state
option.

Under most conditions, this problem is temporary. HP P6000 Command View recovers the
connection when the storage system is able to respond to management commands. If this problem
occurs frequently or does not resolve itself after a short period of time, contact HP Support for
assistance. HP recommends that you save a screen capture of the Path test output for further analysis
by HP Support.
