access the storage
system, or the cluster
software is not
functioning with the
storage system.
Probable Cause
The storage system is not
cabled properly to the
nodes or the cabling
between the storage
components is incorrect.
One of the cables is faulty. Replace the faulty cable.
Host Group or Host-to-

Corrective Action
Ensure that the cables are
connected properly from the

Verify the following:
• Host Group is created and the
cluster nodes are added to the
Host Group.
• Host-to-Virtual Disk Mapping

are assigned to the Host Group
containing the cluster nodes.
If CHAP is used, enter correct
