What to do when HP Storage reports 'Communication Time Out'?
- Y
  ymartinezSep 7, 2025
  If a 'Communication Time Out' error occurs, verify that the secondary system is powered on and that NVS and cache are fully functional. Ensure network relay devices (cables, connectors, switches, ESCDs, extender devices, communication lines, and all other devices connected to the extenders) are correctly configured and working. Delete the failed path. You might need to adjust the minimum paths setting or remove the secondary system to delete the path. After deletion, add the path or secondary system using the Add Path or Add DKC dialog box.

Why does HP StorageWorks P9000 show 'Serial Number Mismatch'?
- C
  Cameron SummersSep 7, 2025
  A 'Serial Number Mismatch' error indicates that the serial number (S/N) of the secondary system doesn't match the one specified. Verify that you've entered the correct secondary system S/N and path parameters, such as primary and secondary system ports and controller ID. Then, delete the failed path. You might need to adjust the minimum paths setting or delete the secondary system to delete the path. After deletion finishes, add the path and the secondary system back. Ensure that you've entered the correct controller ID and that the topology settings of the primary and secondary system ports are correct.

What does 'Port Rejected' mean on HP StorageWorks P9000?
- R
  Robert ParkerSep 7, 2025
  A 'Port Rejected' or 'Pair-Port Rejected' message means the primary and secondary systems rejected the request to establish a logical path because all resources are in use. Delete the failed path, and remove any unused paths and secondary systems. Remember, the primary system can connect to up to 64 secondary systems with up to eight paths each. Ensure all ports on both systems are properly configured: ordinary target ports or RCU target ports for hosts, initiator and RCU target ports for primary and secondary systems. If needed, connect to the secondary system to delete paths or reconfigure ports, then reconnect to the primary system. Finally, add the path and secondary system.

How to fix 'Initialization Failed' on HP StorageWorks P9000 Storage?
- K
  katherineleeSep 8, 2025
  If the 'Initialization Failed' error appears, it means the link initialization procedure for the secondary system failed. Ensure the cables between the primary and secondary systems are correctly connected. Verify that you entered the correct serial number (S/N) of the secondary system and the correct path parameters (for example, primary system port, secondary system port, and controller ID). Also, confirm that the topology settings of the primary and secondary systems ports are correct.

What does 'Invalid Port Mode' mean for HP Storage?
- A
  Aaron HartSep 8, 2025
  An 'Invalid Port Mode' error indicates that the specified port isn't configured as an initiator port, or the path already exists. Ensure the topology settings of the primary and secondary system ports are correct. Verify that you entered the correct secondary system S/N and path parameters (primary system port, secondary system port, controller ID). Delete the failed path. You might need to change the minimum paths setting or delete the secondary system to delete the path. After deletion finishes, add the path and the secondary system back again.

How to resolve HP Storage 'Communication Failed'?
- D
  Diane DavisSep 8, 2025
  If 'Communication Failed' appears, the primary system connected to the secondary system, but a logical communication timeout occurred. Verify that the secondary system port and network relay devices (cables and switches) are properly configured and functioning.

How to fix HP StorageWorks P9000 Storage 'Port Number Mismatch'?
- M
  Michelle JohnsonSep 8, 2025
  A 'Port Number Mismatch' error means the specified port number is incorrect, or the cable isn't connected. Delete the error path. Check the specified port number and cable connections, then retry the operation.

What does 'Pair-Port Number Mismatch' mean on HP Storage?
- M
  Michael HillSep 8, 2025
  A 'Pair-Port Number Mismatch' indicates that the specified port in the secondary system is physically disconnected from the primary system. Make sure you specified the correct secondary system port and correct it if necessary. Ensure the primary and secondary systems ports are connected with cables; connect them if they aren't. Verify the topology settings of ports on the primary and secondary systems are correct.

How to resolve 'Pair-Port Type Mismatch' on HP Storage?
- C
  charlottearmstrongSep 9, 2025
  A 'Pair-Port Type Mismatch' error means the specified port in the secondary system isn't configured as an RCU Target port. Ensure that the specified port in the secondary system is configured as an RCU target port.

What to do for HP Storage 'Logical Blockade'?
- T
  thomas51Sep 9, 2025
  The solution depends on the cause: * If a failure occurs at a primary system port, repair the port status on the primary system. * If a failure occurs at a secondary system port, repair the port status on the secondary system. After that, delete the path then add the path and the secondary system back again. * If a failure occurs in the path relay equipment, repair the path relay equipment. After that, delete the path then add the path and the secondary system back. * If the connection cable is physically broken, replace the broken cable. After that, delete the path by using the Delete Path or Delete DKC command, and then add the path and the secondary system again by using the Add Path or Add DKC command.
