Reconnecting external systems and volumes

When you disconnect an external volume or volumes, you can start using them again by reconnecting.

When you reconnect a volume or system, the preserved mapping settings and path status are compared to the current status of the volume. When the status and settings match, the volume is again placed in mapped, Normal status and is available for I/O operations. However, if the external volume is not ready to be resumed, the status of the disconnected volume is Blockade. If this occurs, see General troubleshooting and proceed as directed.
