Make sure that the main and remote systems are physically connected. Ensure that the port in the RCU is configured as an RCU target port and configure it if necessary.

    What causes HP Software path rejection?
    • S
      Steven ScottSep 3, 2025
      If the main or remote HP Software system rejected the logical path link control function because all logical path resources in the two systems are being used for other connections, delete the failed path. Also, delete all paths and remote systems not currently in use. The main system can be connected to a maximum of four remote systems, with up to eight paths to each system. Ensure that all main and remote system ports are properly configured: ordinary target ports or RCU target ports for hosts, RCU target ports for remote systems, initiator ports for main systems. If necessary, connect to the remote system to delete paths. Reconfigure the ports, then reconnect to the main system and add the path/remote system again using Edit Path or Add RCU.
