When connecting an XP1024/XP128 Disk Array as the external storage system, you need to set
the port to the host group for the Windows hosts (host mode 0C: Windows, host mode 2C: Windows
Extension).
Also, the port attribute must be the target port or the RCU target port.

Path status and examples of recovery procedure

This section describes errors that require recovery operation on the external storage system side
when the path status is not normal. When the path status is not normal, see the following table to
recover the path status. If you cannot restore the path, call HP Technical Support (see

There is a problem with connection to the external storage system. The possible causes are:

Cannot detect port

The Fibre cable is not physically connected in the proper way.

The setting of the topology does not match between the external port and the target port.

If the external storage system is connected through switches, the settings for the switches
may not be appropriate.

Make sure that the Fibre cable is connected properly, and then set the Fibre Channel port
properly using LUN Manager.

The LUN security may have been set by LUN Manager. Check if the LUN security is set or not.
If the LUN security is set, remove the setting of the LUN security.
