Errors in a path to the external array

Figure 62

shows an example of when an error occurs in a path between the local array and an external

array. In

Figure 62

, an error occurs in the path between the local array and external array 1; however,

the path between the local array and external array 2 is normal.
The situation in

Figure 62

is as follows:

Clients cannot access volumes in external array 1, but can access volumes in external array 2.

The local array recognizes that the status of all file systems and volumes in external array 1 are

blocked.
