HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide (T1706-96006, June 2006)

62 External Storage XP panes
• Blockade: Path is blocked.
• Disconnect: Connection to the external array or external LU was intentionally stopped using the
Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command.
• Warning: There are paths whose status is not normal. Check the status of the paths.
• Checking: Process of checking the paths’ defined configuration informations is in progress.
• WWN of the external array
• Port: Port number of the local array connected to the port identified by the WWN selected in the
Port tree. One of the following icons appears for each port:
• WWN: WWN of the external array selected in the Port tree.
• LUN: External array’s LU number.
• Characteristic: External LU’s identification number.
• Group: External LU group number and reference number assigned to each LU in the external LU
group. External Storage XP automatically assigns reference numbers to LUs in the group when the
external LUs are mapped. This is displayed in the format of “external LU group number - reference
number of volume in the group”.
• Status: Status of the path configured by the port of the local array and the port of the external array
identified by the WWN. One of the following statuses is displayed:
• Normal: Path is normal.
• Unknown: Path status is unknown.
• Blockade: Path is blocked.
• External device setting changed: External array setting changed. For example, the path
definition was deleted, or the external array itself was replaced by another device.
• LDEV size reduced: External array’s volume capacity setting changed (volume capacity was
reduced).
• Not ready: External array replied NOTREADY.
• Illegal request: External array replied ILLEGALREQUEST.
• Command aborted: External array replied ABORTEDCOMMAND.
• Busy: External array is in BUSY status.
• LDEV reserved: External array is in Reserve status.
• Response error: External array is in blocked status caused by an abnormal reply (Response).
• Initiator port: External array’s port attribute changed to the initiator port.
• Unknown port: External array’s port attribute is unknown.
• Cannot detect port: Path was removed or external array’s port could not be found.
• Internal error: Program error occurred, or there is a logical contradiction.
• Timeout: Processing was retried because an abnormal reply (Response) was returned; however,
processing was stopped by a timeout.
• Standby: External array’s port is standing by. Port status is normal, but cannot receive I/O.
• Target error
: Port failures, such as controller blockade, are detected on the external array side.
• Checking: Process of checking the paths’ defined configuration information is in progress.
• Disconnect: Connection to the external array or external LU was intentionally stopped using the
Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command.
• Unavailable: External array replied Unavailable. The external array demands to change the
connected port. Once the status becomes Unavailable, the primary path changes to the
