Examples of recovery
procedures
There is a problem with connection
to the external array. The following
are possible causes:
• The fibre cable is not connected
properly.
• The topology setting between
the external and target ports
does not match.
• If the external array is
connected through switches, the
switches' settings might not be
appropriate.
Check if the fibre cable is
connected properly, and use LUN
Manager to set the Fibre Channel
port properly.
LUN Manager may have set LUN
security.
Check if LUN security is enabled.
If LUN security is enabled, disable
LUN security.
Troubleshooting External Storage XP
Examples of recovery
procedures
LUN Manager may have changed
the LU paths' settings.
Check the LU paths' settings. If the
LU paths' settings changed, change
the settings back to the ones used
when the volume was mapped. Or
use External Storage XP to perform
the Delete LU operation, and
perform the Add LU operation
again.
