2. In the Device list, right-click the external LU you want to resume the connection to the local
array, and select Check Paths & Restore Vol.
The selected external group number in the Device tree and the selected external LU in the
Device list appear in blue italics. Rows with operations to be performed on appear in the
Preset list. To check setting details, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Detail. To
cancel settings, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Delete.

Restoring external LUs (LDEV Restore)
The external LU's status might be blocked (Blockade) if errors occur during the setting operation or
the volume-formatting process fails. In this case, see
Troubleshooting External Storage XP and
restore the path to the external array according to the troubleshooting procedure. 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 LDEV Restore command to restore
the volume.
NOTE: If the path between the local array and external array is not restored, you cannot restore
the external array's status to be usable, even though you execute the LDEV Restore command.
NOTE: You can also restore the external LU by executing the Restore command on the LDEV
Information window. For more information, see Restoring external LUs (Restore) .
