• Unavailable: External array replied Unavailable. The external array demands to change
the connected port. Once the status becomes Unavailable, the primary path changes to
the alternate path that is in the Standby status. When the primary path changes, the
status of the path becomes Normal.
• Backoff: External array replied Backoff. The path status is waiting for recovery because a
temporary error occurred in the external array's volume. Even if the primary path's status
becomes Backoff, the primary path does not changed to the alternate path immediately.
After the error recovery, the status becomes Normal. If the status cannot be recovered from
the error, the path status changes to the other status.
• Characteristic2: External LU's extended identifying information. This information is used for
identifying logical volumes in the EVA array. For more information, see Identifying logical
volumes of EVA arrays (using Characteristic 2) .

codes appear in the Preset list.

Depending on the type of errors that occur, identical error codes might be displayed for all errors listed
in the Preset list. In this case, check the status of settings to identify the source of the error.
