Troubleshooting Secure Path for Active-Active disk arrays
You or an HP service representative can perform troubleshooting, depending upon your HP service
contract. If you are unable to resolve an error condition, ask your HP service representative for
assistance.
This section describes the following:
• Recovering after a failure
• Secure Path messages
Recovering after a failure
When a path fails, it is no longer used by Secure Path. After the path is repaired, Secure Path
automatically begins using the path with the designated load balancing policy. No user action is
necessary.
NOTE:
If a path to the device has been serviced and the device recovery does not occur, check whether the
autopath monitor process has been terminated inadvertently. If so, restart the recovery process
by executing the autopath monitor command.
For more information, see autopath monitor command.
Secure Path messages
Secure Path reports error, diagnostic messages, and informational messages to the
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file. You can enter the dmesg command to view the messages
reported by Secure Path.
Table 13 lists the messages that may exist in the Secure Path log file.
