error

A physical connection between

the local storage system and the

remote storage system, or a

connection between the local

storage system and the switch

does not exist. Therefore, the

error occurred when the

connection to the remote storage

system was initialized.

Check the following, and correct

them if they are not correct:
•

The cable between the ports of

the local storage system and

the remote storage system or

between the ports of the local

storage system and the switch

of the local storage system is

properly connected.

•

The serial number (S/N) and

system ID of the remote

storage system, the port

number of the local storage

system, and the port number

of the remote storage system

are correct.

•

The topology (Fabric, FC-AL,

Point-to-point) of the ports of

the local storage system and

remote storage system is

correctly set.

Communication

timeout

A timeout occurred in a

communication between the local

storage system and remote

storage system.

Check the following, and correct

them if they are not correct:
•

The remote storage system is

powered on, and the remote

storage system can be used

normally.

•

The following network relaying
