Troubleshooting Auto Path VA
To troubleshoot Auto Path VA, you can use these Windows 2000 troubleshooting tools:
Event Viewer
All activity on the paths is shown by Event Viewer. The viewer logs all errors (disk, adapter, and I/O)
and when a path is taken out of service.
Windows Diagnostics
The Administrative Tools utility, accessed from the Windows Control Panel, shows all devices
connected to the Windows 2000 system.
Windows Registry
Back up the Registry before executing the Registry Editor.
The Registry shows the devices connected to the Windows 2000 system. The Registry Editor can be
used to display the devices seen at boot time.
Disk Administrator
Disk Administrator shows the paths that are online and offline. If all the paths to a device appear to be
offline, it is likely that the device is not formatted at the array level. Format the device so that the Disk
Administrator will see the path of the device and the remaining offline paths.
