How to fix HP Storage Remote Web Console when it hangs?
- T
  Thomas SmithAug 25, 2025
  If the HP Storage Remote Web Console hangs or Cnt Ac-J Z operations malfunction, first ensure the issue isn't with your computer, Ethernet hardware, or software by restarting the computer. Verify that all Cnt Ac-J Z requirements are met, and that the primary/secondary systems and remote copy connections are powered on with operational NVS and cache. Double-check all entered values and parameters for accuracy in the Remote Web Console. Avoid using Performance Monitor during these operations.

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.

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 port is rejected?
- M
  Margaret RodriguezAug 26, 2025
  If the primary and secondary HP Storage systems reject a request for a logical path due to resource constraints, delete the failed path, as well as any unused paths and secondary systems. Remember that the primary system can connect to up to 64 secondary systems, each with up to eight paths. Ensure all ports on both systems are correctly configured. If necessary, connect to the secondary system to delete paths or reconfigure ports, then reconnect to the primary system before re-adding the path and secondary system.

How to fix HP Storage initialization failed error?
- D
  Daniel FletcherAug 26, 2025
  If initialization fails on your HP Storage, which means the link initialization procedure for the secondary system failed, ensure that the cables between the primary and secondary systems are correctly connected. Verify the serial number (S/N) of the secondary system and the path parameters (primary system port, secondary system port, and controller ID). Also, confirm that the topology settings of the primary and secondary system ports are correct.

How to resolve HP Storage serial number mismatch error?
- C
  Carla BrownAug 26, 2025
  If you encounter a serial number mismatch error on your HP Storage, where the secondary system's serial number (S/N) doesn't match the specified one, ensure you've entered the correct secondary system S/N and path parameters. After verifying, delete the failed path, which may require adjusting the minimum paths setting or deleting the secondary system. Then, re-add the path and secondary system, ensuring the controller ID and topology settings of the primary and secondary system ports are correct.

How to fix HP Storage invalid port mode error?
- D
  David SpenceAug 26, 2025
  If you receive an 'Invalid Port Mode' error on your HP Storage, indicating 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 the secondary system S/N and path parameters. Then, delete the failed path (adjusting minimum paths or deleting the secondary system if needed), and re-add the path and secondary system.

What causes Logical Blockade in HP StorageWorks P9000?
- B
  Brent HessAug 27, 2025
  A logical blockade in HP Storage can occur due to several reasons: * If the failure occurs at a primary system port, repair the port status on the primary system. * If the failure occurs at a secondary system port, repair the port status on the secondary system, then delete and re-add the path and secondary system. * If the failure occurs in the path relay equipment, repair the equipment, then delete and re-add the path and secondary system. * If the connection cable is broken, replace it, then delete and re-add the path and secondary system.

How to troubleshoot HP StorageWorks P9000 Storage Communication Failed error?
- D
  Diana GomezAug 27, 2025
  If communication fails on your HP Storage, meaning the primary system connects to the secondary system but a logical communication timeout occurs, ensure that the secondary system port and network relay devices (cables, switches) are properly configured and functioning.

- A
  amorganAug 27, 2025
  If the port number specified is invalid or the cable isn't connected to the specified port on your HP Storage, delete the failed path. Check the specified port number and the cable connection, then retry.
