Stopping the Use of Paths to the External Volume (Disconnect Paths)
Use the Disconnect Paths command to prepare for stopping the use of the cross-subsystem path.
For example, when you want to maintain one of the cross-subsystem paths, you can stop the
specified cross-subsystem path while the local storage system is still connected to the external
volume. To resume the use of the cross-subsystem path that is stopped by the Disconnect Paths
command, use the Check Paths command.
The Disconnect Paths command is not for the actual disconnection of the cross-subsystem path to
the external volume. You need to confirm that some normal cross-subsystem paths to the external
volume is set, other than the cross-subsystem path for which you plan to execute the Disconnect
Paths command.
To stop the use of the paths to the external volume:
1. Start Remote Web Console, and open the Path Operation window.
2. Make sure that Remote Web Console is in Modify mode.
