112 Troubleshooting NAS Blade systems that include external arrays
•
The local array recognizes that the status of all file systems and volumes in external array 1 are
blocked.
Figure 63
Error occurs on the path to the external array used for node 1
1.
Restore (for example, check the cable’s connection status or change the switch) the status of the error
path between the local array and external array 1.
2.
Execute the Check Paths & Restore Vol. command using External Storage XP. For instructions, see
Checking the connection status and resuming external LU operations (Check Paths & Restore Vol.)
3.
Perform a forced stop operation using NAS Blade Manager for resource group 1, which displays the
status as an srmd executable error.
4.
Stop node 1 using NAS Blade Manager.
5.
Restart NAS OS 1 (NAS channel adapter’s OS) using LUN Manager or NAS Blade Manager.
6.
Start node 1 using NAS Blade Manager.
7.
To release the blocked status of node 2’s file system, perform the following operations:
a. Change resource group 2’s execution node to node 1 using NAS Blade Manager (failover).
b. Restart NAS OS 2 (NAS channel adapter’s) using LUN Manager or NAS Blade Manager.
c. Change resource group 2’s execution node to node 2 (failback).
8.
Start resource group 1 on node 1 using NAS Blade Manager.
If both nodes use the same external array
In the configuration in
, all of the NAS Blade system’s user LUs are volumes in the external
array. Only one external array is connected to the local array. Also, only one path is set between the
local array and external array. In this case, if an error occurs in the only set path, none of the volumes in
the external array can be used.
