In the configuration in
, you can identify the logical volumes referring to
Characteristic2 in the XP External Storage windows. The first 32 characters of Characteristic2
indicate the World Wide LUN Name that can be found on the EVA storage system side. You can
identify the logical volume of the EVA storage system by this World Wide LUN Name.

Behavior of the Alternate Path
When an EVA storage system is connected, the behavior of the alternate path differs depending
on the microcode version of the EVA storage system.
If the subsystem system type is EVA3000/5000, the behavior of the alternate path differs between
the EVA storage system of the microcode version 4.000 or later and the EVA storage systems of
the earlier microcode versions.
To replace the microcode of the EVA storage system, check whether the behavior of the alternate
path changes as a result of changing the microcode version. If the behavior of the alternate path
changes, perform the Delete Volume operation of XP External Storage to release the setting of
mapping the EVA storage system volume before you actually replace the microcode.
See the EVA storage system manuals for how the behavior of the alternate path changes.
