.

CAUTION:

When powering the external array off after executing the Disconnect Subsystem command, you
cannot access the mapped external LU from the local array when you initially turn on the external
array. You must execute the Check Paths & Restore Vol. command to resume using the mapped
external LU. The Check Paths & Restore Vol. command checks the defined information and the actual
status of the external LU mapped as a local array internal LDEV. If the external LU is ready to be used
as a mapped volume, the LU is set to accept I/Os and you can resume using the LU as a mapped
volume.
