* To restore a path, delete and then add the path again. It may be necessary to delete and then add the RCU again.
To delete the RCU or path, see “Deleting Continuous Access Synchronous Z” (page 86) or “Deleting logical paths”
(page 81). To re-register, see “Configuring storage systems, defining logical paths” (page 58). If you cannot restore
the path after performing these operations, contact HP for assistance.
