3. Follow step 5 to step 7 in ”Defining alternate paths” on page 77.

Changing alternate paths

To change an alternate path, cancel the current alternate path, and then define another path as a new

alternate path.

1. Follow step 1 to step 3 in ”Defining alternate paths” on page 77.

2. In the Configured Paths table, right-click the row of the path currently defined as the alternate path, and

select Delete.

The selected alternate path’s definition is canceled, and detailed information about the path is deleted

from the Configured Paths table.

3. In the Available Paths table, right-click the row of the path to be defined as the new alternate path, and

select Add.

The specified alternate path is defined, and detailed information about the path is displayed in the

Configured Paths table.

4. Follow step 5 to step 7 in ”Defining alternate paths” on page 77.

Adding alternate paths to multiple external LUs (Add Paths)

To add paths other than the alternate paths you set when you mapped the volume, add multiple paths at

one time by selecting multiple external LUs belonging to the same external LU group. To do this, set the

alternate path in the Add Paths window (Figure 42), check the setting in the Path Setting window

(Figure 40), and apply the setting to the disk array.

CAUTION: After adding paths using the Add Paths window, you can change the path setting for each

external LU in the Path Setting window. However, you cannot delete all current paths to completely

interchange them with the newly added paths. At least one current path setting must remain, even if you

added new paths using the Add Paths window.

NOTE: Use the Add Paths window to add paths to multiple external LUs at one time. However, path

settings might not be applied because of the current path setting of each volume. After setting paths in the

Add Paths window, check whether or not the new path settings can be applied in the Path Setting window

for each external LU. If the setting cannot be applied, the setting from the Add Paths window does not

appear on the Path Setting window. The setting from the Add Paths window also does not appear in the

Preset list or in the LU Operation pane.
