Summary

displayed

Paths

Total number of displayed paths, indicated by a decimal (i.e.,

base 10) number.

OnlinePaths

Number of online paths from within the displayed paths,

indicated by a decimal number. When the value of Paths

equals the value of OnlinePaths, then all the paths are online.

If the value of OnlinePaths is less than that of Paths, some

paths are offline. In this case, you should check the offline

paths and take appropriate action for any paths that have an

error status.

PathStatus

Status of the displayed paths. The displayed status indicates

the following:

Online: All paths are available.

Reduced: Some paths are not available.

Reduced means that some paths might have an error status, in

which case you should check the status of individual paths and

resolve the problem for any paths that have an error status.

IO-Count

Total I/O count for all the displayed paths, indicated by a

decimal number. The maximum value that can be displayed is
2

32

- 1 (4294967295). If the total I/O count reaches the

maximum value, it is reset, and the count is re-started from 0.

IO-Errors

Total I/O error count for all the displayed paths, indicated by a

decimal number. The maximum value that can be displayed is
2

32

- 1 (4294967295). If the total I/O error count reaches the

maximum value, it is reset, and the count is re-started from 0.

PathID

The AutoPATH_ID indicated by a decimal number.
The AutoPATH_ID is assigned every time the host is restarted

or when a path configuration is changed. When a new LU was

added and the host has not been restarted, AutoPATH_ID is

assigned to each path of the LU when you execute the cfgmgr

command.

PathName

#

1

-

The path name, which indicates a path. When you modify the

system configuration or replace a hardware item, you should

check the path names to identify the path that will be affected

by the change. Path name consists of the following four

elements, separated by periods:

HBA adapter number or adapter type (character string)

Bus number or adapter number (character string)

Target ID (hexadecimal number)

Host LU number (hexadecimal number)

For details about each element of the path name and its

representation in AIX, see
