Connecting HP 200 Storage Virtualization System as external storage
When connecting an HP 200 Storage Virtualization System (SVS200) as the external array, you must set
the SVS200 port to a host group for Windows hosts (host mode 0C: Windows or host mode 2C: Windows
Extension).
Also, the SVS200 port attribute must be “target” (for an External Storage XP connection) or “RCU target
port” (for a Continuous Access XP connection).
NOTE: If you are using microcode that does not support the SVS200, the SVS200 is recognized as an
XP12000 Disk Array. To recognize the connected external array as the SVS200, use the microcode
version that supports the SVS200 (which is microcode version 50-07-0X-XX/XX or higher). If you used an
earlier microcode version that does not support the SVS200 to map the SVS200 volumes, delete the
mapping setting, and then change the microcode version to the one that supports the SVS200.
Illegal request The volume may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,
Continuous Access XP, or another copy program. If the volume is set as a
pair volume, the volume might be protected because of the pair status. If
the volume is protected, change the pair status or delete the pair.
Response error The volume may have been set as a pair volume for data copy.
Check if the volume is set as a pair volume for Business Copy XP,
Continuous Access XP, or another copy program. If the volume is set as a
pair volume, the volume might be protected because of the pair status. If
the volume is protected, change the pair status or delete the pair.
Cannot detect port 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.
Hitachi SANtinel may have set LUN security.
Check if LUN security is enabled. If LUN security is enabled, disable LUN
security.
