page of the logical connector to view details of the Path Health. For a brief outline of this scenario, see the following
table:

However, if the communication channel between any two enclosures is lost, the redundant path configuration is
degraded and the health of the logical connector is displayed as degraded. For a brief outline of this scenario, see the
following table.

In the above scenario, the enclosure status is displayed in warning mode. Clicking Information/Configuration in the
Enclosures page displays all enclosure components (EMMs, Fans, Physical Disks, Power Supplies, and Temperature) in
normal condition. To view the Path Failure message to indicate that the enclosure has lost a communication path to the
controller, indicating that the enclosure is no longer in redundant path mode.

Clearing The Redundant Path View
Consider a case where you reboot your system and Storage Management, displays the logical connector with a path
failure message. It is possible that you may have intentionally unplugged the second connector. In this case, the path
failure message is not relevant. There could be a fault in the connected cable or the cable may not be connected
properly to the controller. In both cases, Storage Management displays that the system was in redundant path
configuration before reboot and is no longer in this configuration. If you are sure you, do not want the redundant path
mode, clear the existing redundant path view using Clear Redundant Path View provided in the Changing The Controller
Properties controller task. Selecting this option clears the redundant path view and the connectors are represented on
the user interface as Connector 0 and Connector 1.
