  If FCU reports errors when accessing an FCU parameter definition file on Windows systems, remove all space lines from the FCU parameter definition files. FCU versions 01-01-36 and later do not support space lines, while FCU versions 01-01-24 and earlier supported space lines when run without the GUI.

How to resolve HP Storage Communication Time Out error?
- A
  alvaradostevenAug 26, 2025
  If a communication timeout occurs between the primary and secondary HP Storage systems, ensure the secondary system is powered on and that NVS and cache are fully functional. Verify that all network relay devices are properly configured and functional. Delete the failed path, which may require adjusting the minimum paths setting or deleting the secondary system first. After deletion, re-add the path or secondary system using the Add Path or Add DKC dialog box.

What to do if HP Storage pair create operation resulted in a timeout error?
- K
  Kyle OliverAug 25, 2025
  If a pair create or resync operation on your HP Storage results in a timeout error, and a SIM was generated due to a hardware failure, call HP Technical Support after the problem is solved, then retry Cnt Ac-J Z operations. If no SIM was generated, wait 5-6 minutes and check the pair status. If the status changed correctly, the operation completed after the timeout. If the status did not change, retry the operation during a lighter workload. If there is a communication error between the Remote Web Console and the SVP, consult the HP StorageWorks P9000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
