134 Notes on connecting external arrays

Connecting XP12000/XP10000 Disk Arrays

When connecting an XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array as the external array, you must set the external array

port host group for one of two types of Windows hosts (host mode 0C: Windows, host mode 2C:

Windows Extension).
Also, the port attribute must be the target or RCU target port.

Path status and examples of recovery procedures (XP12000/XP10000 Disk Arrays)

Table 21

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

is not normal, see

Troubleshooting External Storage XP

” on page 121 and this table to recover the path

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

Cannot detect port

There is a problem with the 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.

LUN Manager may have enabled the host group security.
Check if host group security is enabled. If host group security is enabled,

disable host group security.

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.

LUN Security XP Extension may have changed the volume’s access

attribute.
Check the volume’s access attribute. If the volume is protected by the

access attribute, release the protection.

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, Continuous Access XP Journal, 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.

LUN Security XP Extension may have changed the volume’s access

attribute.
Check the volume’s access attribute. If the volume is protected by the

access attribute, release the protection.
