6.11.1 No Preferred Path Detectable upon Server Boot
If, during server boot operations, Secure Path is unable to detect the preferred path to one
or more devices due to component failure ( i.e., a broken SCSI adapter), it indicates this
condition through the use of a special warning icon. The warning icon, (a yellow circle
containing the letter “M” crossed out with a red line), shown in Figure 6-8, overlays the
normal icon of each device known to be affected. Because the integrity of the no-single-
point-of-failure Secure Path configuration is severely compromised in this situation, the
Manager locks out all attempts to manually move any device to an alternate path,
including devices that still appear to have both paths available.
