HP StorageWorks User Manual

52 External Storage XP for the XP12000/XP10000
• Status: Status of the path configured by the port of the local disk array and the port of the external
disk array identified by the WWN.
• Normal: Path is normal.
• Unknown: Path status is unknown.
• Blockade: Path is blocked.
• External device setting changed: External disk array’s setting changed. For example, the path
definition was deleted or the external disk array itself was replaced by another device.
• LDEV size reduced: External disk array’s volume capacity changed (volume capacity was
reduced).
• Not ready: External disk array replied NOTREADY.
• Illegal request: External disk array replied ILLEGALREQUEST.
• Command aborted: External disk array replied ABORTEDCOMMAND.
• Busy: External disk array is in BUSY status.
• LDEV reserved: External disk array is in Reserve status.
• Response error: External disk array is in blocked status caused by an abnormal reply
(Response).
• Initiator port: External disk array’s port attribute changed to the initiator port.
• Unknown port: External disk array’s port attribute is unknown.
• Cannot detect port: Path was removed or external disk array’s port could not be found.
• Internal error: Program error occurred, or there is a logical contradiction.
• Timeout: Processing was retried because an abnormal reply (Response) was returned; however,
processing was stopped by a timeout.
• Standby: External disk array’s port is standing by. The port status is normal, but cannot receive
I/O.
• Target error: Port failures, such as controller blockade, are detected on the external disk array
side.
• Checking: Process of checking the paths’ defined configuration information is in progress.
• Disconnect: Connection to the external disk array or external LU was intentionally stopped using
the Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command.
• Unavailable: External disk array replied Unavailable. The external disk array demands to
change the connected port. Once the status becomes Unavailable, the primary path changes to
the alternate path that is in the Standby status. When the primary path changes, the status of the
path becomes Normal.
• Backoff: External disk array replied Backoff. The path status is waiting for recovery because a
temporary error occurred in the external disk array’s volume. Even if the primary path’s status
becomes Backoff, the primary path does not changed to the alternate path immediately. After
the error recovery, the status becomes Normal. If the status cannot be recovered from the error,
the path status changes to the other status.
• Characteristic2: External LU’s extended identifying information. This information is used for
identifying logical volumes in the EVA disk array. For more information, see ”Identifying logical
volumes of EVA disk arrays (using Characteristic 2)” on page 111.
