Reconnecting an external storage system, all mapped volumes
When you reconnect an external system, all the mapped external volumes in the system are also reconnected. This is the primary method for reconnecting the disconnected volumes in an external system.
Prerequisites
You must have Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role to perform this task.
Procedure
Open the External Storage window.
In the Hitachi Command Suite:
On the Resources tab, click Storage Systems, and then expand All Storage Systems.
Expand the target storage systems, right-click External Storage, and then select System GUI.
In Device Manager - Storage Navigator:
Click Storage Systems, and then expand the Storage Systems tree.
Click External Storage.
On the External Storage Systems tab, select the row for the external system to be reconnected, and then click Reconnect External Storage Systems.
In the Reconnect External Storage Systems window, check the volumes that will be reconnected, accept or enter a new task name, and then click Apply.
In the Confirm window, click Apply again.
When you finish the procedure, the external volumes’ status displays as Checking, then Normal. If the external storage system cannot be reconnected, the status becomes Blockade.
