Each message contains several elements. These elements are explained below.
ErrorCode
The error number generated when Windows detected the path error.
PathID
The ID assigned to a path. This ID is called the AutoPATH_ID.
AutoPATH_IDs are re-
assigned every time the host is restarted.
This path ID is the same as the path ID displayed in the Path List view in the Path
Management window.
The path ID is also the same as PathID displayed by the command's view operation.
PathName
The path name, which indicates a physical path. When you modify the system
configuration or replace a hardware item, you should check the path names to identify
the physical paths that will be affected by the change.
A path name consists of the following four elements, separated by periods:
– Host port number (hexadecimal)
– Bus number (hexadecimal)
– Target ID (hexadecimal)
– Host LU number (hexadecimal)
This name is the same as the path name displayed in the Path List view in the Path
Management window for the HDLM GUI. For details on the path names, see section
6.2.4
for the HDLM GUI.
The path name is also the same as PathName displayed by the command's view
operation. For details on the path name, see section
7.7.
DNum
A Dev number. A 0 is displayed for a Dev that indicates the entire LU.
This is the same as the DNum that is displayed by the view operation. For details on the
view operation, see section
7.7.
HDevName
The name of the host device.
A drive letter appears. If no drive letter has been assigned, a hyphen (-) appears.
This is the same as the HDevName that is displayed by the view operation. For details
on the view operation, see section
7.7.
