Adding alternate paths by selecting multiple external LUs (Add
Paths)
To add paths other than the alternate paths you have set as you have mapped the volume, you can
add paths at one time selecting the multiple volumes that belong to the same external volume group.
To add the alternate paths to the multiple volumes at one time, you need to set on the Add Paths
panel, check the setting on the Path Setting panel, and then apply the setting to the array. You can
also change the setting of the paths by each external volume on the Path Setting panel.
CAUTION:
You cannot delete all the current alternate paths to substitute newly-added alternate paths for them
in one operation. To replace all the current alternate paths with newly-added alternate paths, you
need to perform more than two operations and leave at least one current alternate path setting when
you perform the first operation. For the detailed procedure, see “
Replacing all the alternate paths
with newly-added alternate paths ” on page 110.
NOTE:
Use the Add Paths window to add paths to multiple external LUs at one time. However, path settings
might not be applied because of the current path setting of each volume. After setting paths in the
Add Paths window, check whether or not the new path settings can be applied in the Path Setting
window for each external LU. If the setting cannot be applied, the setting from the Add Paths window
does not appear on the Path Setting window. The setting from the Add Paths window also does not
appear in the Preset list or in the LU Operation pane.
