5.3 What To Do for a Path Error

When a path error is detected by HDLM, you must immediately resolve the error and

restore the path.
A path error check is performed every time an I/O is issued, or the Windows

plug-and-play functionality detects that a path is disconnected. If there are any paths

through which I/Os are not normally issued, such as a non-owner path, you should

enable path health checking in order to detect any possible errors. For details about

path health checking, see 2.9 Detecting Errors by Using Path Health Checking.
When a path error is detected, HDLM performs a failover on the path and outputs the
KAPL08022-E message. This message indicates that an error has occurred in the

components that make up the path. Figure 5-1: Error Location When the

KAPL08022-E Message Is Output indicates these components.

Figure 5-2: Troubleshooting Procedure When a Path Error Occurs shows the

troubleshooting procedure when the KAPL08022-E message is output.
