96 Configuring external LUs
NOTE: When you use the Custom Volume Size (CVS) function to make an S-VOL for a Flex Copy
XP copy pair that has the same capacity as the P-VOL, set the S-VOL’s capacity in blocks or
cylinders according to the emulation type.
• LDEV List
The status of external LU mapped as internal LDEV. The following information appears:
• CU:LDEV: CU:LDEV number of the internal LDEV to which the external LU is mapped.
• Path: Number of set paths.
• Emulation Type: External LU’s emulation type set when it was mapped.
• Capacity: External LU’s capacity.
• Status: External LU’s status. Possible values: Normal, Unknown, Blockade, Warning, and Format.
Warning indicates that some alternate paths are blocked. Format indicates the external LU is
currently being formatted.
• View all LUs
Displays information about all external LUs in the LDEV list.
• View all Volumes
When the external LU is part of a LUSE volume, displays all LDEVs that make up the LUSE volume in the
LDEV list. However, LDEVs in other external LUs are not displayed, even though those LDEVs might be
part of the LUSE volume. To check all LDEVs configuring a LUSE volume, use the Volume Detail
command (” Displaying configuration information for external LUs (Volume Detail) ” on page 97).
• Previous and Next buttons
If you select multiple external LUs in the Device list in the LU Operation pane, click Previous to change
the LDEV list to the external LU appearing just above the currently displayed LU. Click Next to change
the LDEV list to the external LU appearing just below the currently displayed LU.
• OK button
Closes the LDEV Information window, and returns to the LU Operation pane. Contents specified in the
LDEV Information window appear in blue italics in the Device list, and settings appear in the Preset list.
• Cancel button
Cancels all setting operations, closes the LDEV Information window, and returns to the LU Operation
pane.
Restoring external LUs (Restore)
Use the Restore command to restore the status of external LUs.
When errors occur in all paths between the local array and external array, the local array changes the
status of the external LU to Blockade. In this case, see ” Troubleshooting External Storage XP ” on
page 121 and restore the path to the external array according to the troubleshooting instructions. Then
execute the Check Paths & Restore Vol. command to make the external LU in Blockade status usable. If the
external LU’s status remains Blockade, even though you restored the path to the external array and
executed the Check Paths & Restore Vol. command, execute the Restore command from the LDEV
Information window.
NOTE: If paths between the local array and external array are not restored, the external LU cannot be
restored to a usable status, even though you execute the Restore command.
NOTE: If you set a mainframe-system emulation type (such as 3390-3) when you mapped the external LU,
and you restore the mapped LU without formatting the LU or performing the Write to Control Blocks
operation, data in the volume cannot be read correctly.
1. Select the LU Operation tab. The LU Operation pane appears.
