the Information/Configuration 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
