Recovery procedures for errors in external arrays

This section describes recovery procedures for when an error occurs in the NAS Blade system's
external array. The recovery procedures are described using examples as follows.

Errors in an external array's disk

Errors in a path to the external array

Errors in all paths to the external array

Errors in an external array's disk

Figure 62 (page 122)

shows an example of when an error occurs in an external array's disk. The

situation in

Figure 62 (page 122)

is as follows:

Data itself stored in the error disk in external array 1 cannot be restored. To restore data to
the original disk after recovering the NAS Blade system, the data should have been backed
up in a disk other than the error disk.

Clients cannot access volumes in the error disk. Clients can only access volumes other than
the error disk.

The local array recognizes that the status of the file system and volume in the error disk is
blocked.
