The port attribute of the external storage system has been changed to the initiator
port.

Initiator port

The port attribute of the external storage system is unknown.

Unknown port

The path has been removed or the port of the external storage system cannot be
found.

Cannot detect port

The program error occurred or there is a logical contradiction.

Internal error

Processing was retried because an abnormal reply was returned, however, the
processing has timed out.

Timeout

The port of the external storage system is not active. The port status is normal but
the port is not used for I/O.

Passive

The port of the external storage system is standing by. The port status is normal
but cannot receive I/O.

Standby

Port failures, such as controller blockade, are detected on the external storage
system side.

Target error

The process of checking the mapping path status is in progress.

Checking

Connection to the external storage system or the external volume is intentionally
stopped using the Disconnect Subsystem command or the Disconnect Volume
command.

Disconnect

The reply from the external storage system was Unavailable. The external storage
system demands to change the connected port. Once the status becomes
Unavailable, the primary path is changed to the alternate path that is in the
Standby status. When the primary path changes, the status of the path becomes
Normal.

Unavailable

The reply from the external storage system was Backoff. The status of the path is
waiting for recovery because a temporary error has occurred in the volume of
the external storage system. Even if the status of the primary path becomes this
status, the primary path is not changed to the alternate path immediately. After
the error recovery, the status becomes Normal. If the status cannot be recovered
from the error, the path status is changed to the other status.

Backoff

An external volume is mapped, but you cannot access the volume in the external
storage system.

Device check error

The volume in the external storage system becomes inaccessible.
