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 XP External Storage connection) or “RCU
target port” (for an XP Continuous Access 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.

Table 24 Path status and examples of recovery procedures (SVS200)

Examples of Recovery Procedure

Path Status

XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software might have changed the LU paths'
settings.
Check the LU paths' settings. If the LU paths' settings changed, change the settings back to the
ones when the volume was mapped. Or use XP External Storage Software to perform the Delete
LU operation, and perform the Add LU operation again.

External
device set-
ting
changed

XP LUN Security Extension might 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.

The volume might have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume of XP Business Copy, XP Continuous Access, XP
Continuous Access Journal, or some other 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.

Illegal re-
quest

XP LUN Security Extension might 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.
