System disks cannot reside in an EMC attached storage
system. See
“Mirroring Disks in Your Express5800/320Ma
System” on page 4-24
for details.
The values that the Op State: State and Op State: Reason properties can take vary
depending on whether EMC PowerPath
®
software is running. See
Table 4-2
for details.
When you reattach a cable between your EMC storage system and the PCI adapters
in your system, the connection state may not be immediately reflected in ftSMC. To
update ftSMC, issue the command powermnt restore in PowerPath, from Run on the
Start menu, or from a command prompt. The information in ftSMC should be updated
after about 15 seconds.
