HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide for the XP12000, XP10000, SVS200 (T1706-96009, October 2007)

• Disconnect: Connection to the external array or external LU was intentionally stopped
using the Disconnect Subsystem or Disconnect Volume command.
• Warning: There are paths whose status is not normal. Check the status of the paths.
• Checking:Processofcheckingthedefined confi guration information of the paths is in
progress.
• Port number of the local array
• Port: Port number of the local array selected in the Port tree. One of the following icons
appears for each port:

Description
Port in Stand
ard mode.
Port in Initiator/External MIX mode.
• WWN: WWN identifying the external array's port. This port is connected to the local array
port selected in the Port tree.
• LUN: External array's LU number.
• Characteristic:ExternalLU'sidentification number.
• Group: External LU group number and reference number assigned to each LU in the external
LU group. External Storage XP automatically assigns the reference numbers to LUs in the group
when the external LUs are mapped. This is displayed in the format of “external LU group
number - reference number of volume in the group”.
• Status: Status of the path configured by the port of the local array and the port of the external
array identified by the WWN.
• Normal:Pathisnormal.
• Unknown:Pathstatusisunknown.
• Blockade:Pathisblocked.
• External device setting changed: External array's setting changed. For example, the path
definition was deleted or the external array itself was replaced by another device.
• LDEV size reduced: External array's volume capacity changed (volume capacity was
reduced).
• Not ready:ExternalarrayrepliedNOTREADY.
• Illegal request:ExternalarrayrepliedILLEGALREQUEST.
• Command aborted: External array replied ABORTEDCOMMAND.
• Busy: External array is in BUSY status.
• LDEV reserved: External array is in Reserve status.
• Response error: External array is in blocked status caused by an abnormal reply
(Response).
• Initiator port: External array's port attribute changed to the initiator port.
• Unknown port: External array's port attribute is unknown.
• Cannot detect port: Path was removed or external 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 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 array
side.
• Checking: Process of checking the paths' defined configurationinformationisinprogress.
• Disconnect: Connection to the external array or external LU was intentionally stopped
using the Disconnect Subsystem or
Disconnect Volume command.
