and select Check Paths & Restore Vol.
The selected external group number in the Device tree and the selected external LU in the Device list

Restoring external LUs (LDEV Restore)
The external LU's status might be blocked (Blockade) if errors occur during the setting operation or the
volume-formatting process fails. In this case, see Troubleshooting External Storage XP and restore the
path to the external array according to the troubleshooting procedure. Then execute the Check Paths
& Restore Vol. command to make the external LU in Blockade status usable. If the external LU's status
remains Blockade, even though you restored the path to the external array and executed the Check Paths
& Restore Vol. command, execute the LDEV Restore command to restore the volume.
NOTE:
If the path between the local array and external array is not restored, you cannot restore the external
array's status to be usable, even though you execute the LDEV Restore command.
NOTE:
You can also restore the external LU by executing the Restore command on the LDEV Information
window. For more information, see Restoring external LUs (Restore) .

the setting appears in the Preset list. To check setting details, right-click the setting in the Preset list,
and select Detail. To cancel the setting, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Delete.
