The path has been removed or the port of the external storage system cannot
be found.
Internal error The program error occurred. Or there is a logical contradiction.

but cannot receive I/O.

Port failures, such as controller blockade are detected on the external storage
system side.

Disconnect
Connecting to the external storage system or the external volume is intentionally
stopped using the Disconnect Subsystem command or the Disconnect Volume
command.
Unavailable
The reply of the external storage system was Unavailable. The external storage
system demands to change the connected port. Once the status becomes
Unavailable, the primary path is changed to the alternate path that is in the
Standby status. When the primary path has been changed, the status of the
path becomes Normal.
Backoff
The reply of the external storage system was Backoff. The status of the path is
waiting for recovery because a temporary error has occurred in the volume of
the external storage system. Even if the status of the primary path becomes this
status, the primary path is 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 is changed to the other status.
