Reconnecting an external storage system and all mapped volumes

When you reconnect an external system, all mapped volumes in the system are also reconnected. This is the primary method for reconnecting disconnected volumes in an external system.

Before you begin

  • You must have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role to perform this task.

Procedure

  1. Open the External Storage window.

    1. Click Storage Systems, and then expand the Storage Systems tree.

    2. Click External Storage.

  2. On the External Storage Systems tab, select the row for the external system to be reconnected, and then click Reconnect External Storage Systems.

  3. In the Reconnect External Storage Systems window, check the volumes to be reconnected, accept or enter a new task name, and then click Apply.

  4. In the Confirm window, click Apply again.

Results

When you finish the procedure, the status for each external volume displays as Checking, then Normal. If the external storage system cannot be reconnected, the status becomes Blockade.
