Status shown during normal operation
Ready
The Ready status indicates that this is the path that will be used for the next I/O
for this Ldev and that the last I/O to this Ldev successfully completed on this
path. After a system boot or successful
DOHA
command, your primary path
should show Ready status. (shown for Ldev 350 primary path in the sample
report (on page 33))
Validated
The Validated status indicates that this path was verified to be operational AND
that both paths, primary and alternate, are able to access the MPE/iX Ldev.
Validated status is set at the following times:
1. During System Boot the alternate path should be set to Validated status if the
HAFOCONF file is read and validation is successful.
2. A
DOHA
command will perform the same checks as done during system boot.
The alternate path should show Validated status as a result.
