Troubleshooting Error Conditions 
Table 5-1 lists potential error conditions that may occur during the USP V 
installation and provides instructions for resolving each condition. If you 
cannot resolve an error condition, please contact your Hitachi Data Systems 
representative for help, or call the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center for 
assistance. 
Table 5-1  Troubleshooting 
Error Condition  Recommended Action 
The logical devices are not 
recognized by the system. 
Make sure that the READY indicator lights on the USP V system are ON. 
Make sure that the fibre cables are correctly installed and firmly 
connected. 
Make sure that the LUNs are properly configured. The LUNs for each 
target ID must start at 0 and continue sequentially without skipping any 
numbers. 
Make sure that the SCSI IDs (unit IDs) on each bus are unique. Do not 
connect two devices with the same SCSI ID on the same bus. 
The SGI system does not 
reboot properly after hard 
shutdown 
If the SGI system is powered off without executing the shutdown 
process, wait three minutes before restarting the SGI system. This 
allows the USP V internal time-out process to purge all queued 
commands so that the USP V is available (not busy) during system 
startup. If the SGI system is restarted too soon, the USP V will continue 
trying to process the queued commands and the SGI system will not 
reboot successfully.
