Path Status and Examples of Recovery Procedure 

(AMS/WMS) 

This section describes errors that require recovery operation on the external 

storage system side when the path status is not normal. When the path status 
is not normal, see the following table to recover the path status. If you cannot 
restore the path, call the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center (see 

Calling the 

Hitachi Data Systems Support Center

).

Path Status and Examples of Recovery Procedure (AMS/WMS) 

Path Status 

Examples of Recovery Procedure 

External 
device 
setting 
changed 

Settings of the LU paths may have been changed by LUN Manager.  Check the settings of 
the LU paths. If the settings of the LU paths have been changed, change the settings 
back to the ones when the volume is mapped. Or use Universal Volume Manager to 
perform the Delete LU operation and perform the Add LU operation again. 
The access attribute of the volume may have been changed by Data Retention Utility. 
Check the access attribute of the volume. If the volume is protected by the access 
attribute, release the protection. 

Illegal 
request or 
Response 
error 

The volume may have been set as a pair volume for data copy. Check if the volume is set 
as a pair volume of ShadowImage, TrueCopy or some other copy program. If the volume 
is set as a pair volume, the volume may be protected because of the pair status. When 
the volume is protected, change the pair status or delete the pair. 
The access attribute of the volume may have been changed by Data Retention Utility. 
Check the access attribute of the volume. If the volume is protected by the access 
attribute, release the protection. 

Cannot 
detect port 

There is a problem with connection to the external storage system. The possible causes 
are: 

ƒ

 

The fibre cable is not physically connected in the proper way. 

ƒ

 

The setting of the topology does not match between the external port and the target 
port. 

ƒ

 

If the external storage system is connected through switches, the settings for the 
switches may not be appropriate. 

Make sure that the fibre cable is connected properly, and then set the fibre-channel port 
properly using LUN Manager. 
If host group security is enabled, disable host group security using LUN Manager.
