Deleting Logical Paths

Before deleting the logical path(s), make sure that the remaining number of logical paths will be
greater than the minimum number of paths setting (see

“Changing Options for Logical Paths and

Storage Systems” (page 149)

). The delete path operation will fail if the number of remaining paths

is equal to or less than the minimum number of paths.

To delete the logical path(s), follow the described in this section. The primary storage system
administrator and the secondary storage system administrator can perform this operation.

Ensure that the Remote Web Console main window is in Modify mode.

For detailed information about how to do this, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000
