How a Server Responds to Failure in the Boot LUN Path
Failure in the path to a SAN-based boot LUN can halt Windows in a
fatal error condition. Depending on the failure, Windows may be able
to transfer control to another path and continue.
Table 3-1 shows server reactions to failures in different components.
a. Depending on the fabric configuration, if multiple switches are used, then this behavior would
qualify under the Multipath category.
b. CLARiiON only.
Explanations of Entries
◆
STOP Error (fatal blue screen) — Indicates host failure and
chance of data corruption.
◆
No boot — Cannot boot Windows.
◆
Halt — Windows cannot recover before system has completed
startup. (You must reboot and follow the power-up scenario.)
◆
Manual — Manual intervention is required to continue.
(Typically, initiate a LUN trespass using CLI or Manager. With
Manager, enable LUN Auto-Assignment in LUN properties.)
◆
Multipath
or
Trespass
— This automatic operation allows no
disruption of service. (The delay caused by this operation may
affect Windows stability.)
