two controllers. If you want to change a volume, such as add or delete a LUN, you will not be able
to make the change to the volume associated with the controller that has not been discovered.
See ”Discovering NAS Devices, Tape Libraries, Switches and Storage Systems” on page 55 for
more information on how to discover a controller.
Error -56
If you see error -56, the switch has network connection failures/problems. To solve the problem,
make sure the switch is physically connected to the network. Then, redo the task you were originally
