Turning on or off both storage systems – HP XP External Storage Software User Manual

1.
Turn on the external storage system that contains the external volume, which is mapped as an
internal volume.
2.
Turn on the power supply of the local storage system.
CAUTION:
•
When the local storage system is turned off after the Disconnect Subsystem command is
executed, you cannot access the mapped external volume from the local storage system as
you just turn the local storage system on. It is necessary to execute the Check Paths & Restore
Volume command to resume using the mapped external volume. The Check Paths & Restore
Volume command checks whether there is a match between the defined information and the
actual status of the external volume mapped as an internal volume. If the external volume is
ready to be used as a mapped volume, the volume is set to accept the I/Os and you can
resume using the volume as a mapped volume.
•
When the Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command is executed and all the data
in the cache memory is written to the external volume, Disconnect appears for Ext. VOL Status
in the Volume Operation window.
