Path status

Examples of recovery procedures

LUN Manager may have changed the LU paths' settings.
Check the LU paths' settings. If the LU paths' settings changed, change

the settings back to the ones used when the volume was mapped.

Or use External Storage XP to perform the Delete LU operation, and

perform the Add LU operation again.

External device setting changed

Open LDEV Guard may 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 may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,

Continuous Access XP, or another 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 request

Open LDEV Guard may 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 may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,

Continuous Access XP, or another 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.

Response error

Open LDEV Guard may 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.
There is a problem with connection to the external array. The following

are possible causes:

The fibre cable is not connected properly.

The topology setting between the external and target ports does

not match.

If the external array is connected through switches, the switches'

settings might not be appropriate.

Check if the fibre cable is connected properly, and use LUN Manager

to set the Fibre Channel port properly.

Cannot detect port

LUN Manager may have set LUN security.
Check if LUN security is enabled. If LUN security is enabled, disable

LUN security.

Connecting XP512/XP48 Disk Arrays

When connecting an XP512/XP48 Disk Array as the external array, you must set the port's host mode to

PC Server (0C).
Also, the port attribute must be the target or RCU target port.
