Pair condition and recovery: path failure from the primary to
external system
If the status of external system is normal, a failure might have occurred in a
physical path from primary or secondary system to the external system, or a
switch. Recover from the failure that occurred in the physical path or switch.
The following table shows transitions for pair status and I/O mode, the
volumes that are accessible from the server, and the location of the latest
data when you can no longer use any physical path from the primary system
to the quorum disk's external system.
