4.3.4 Place the path online

After the path recovers from the error, use the Path Management window to place online the path that went offline due to the error.

To place the offline paths online:

  1. Display the Path Management window.

  2. Make sure that no path is selected in the Configuration view or Path List view, and then click the Online button.
    All offline paths that are displayed in the Configuration view or the Path List view are placed online.
    If any path cannot be placed online due to an error, the KAPL02022-W message appears. To ignore such paths and to continue processing, click the OK button. To cancel the processing, click the Cancel button.
    Check the status of the paths that cannot be placed online, and take appropriate, corrective action.

  3. Close the Path Management window.
    For details on how to close the Path Management window, see (2) Closing the Path Management window in 3.1.2 Displaying or closing the Path Management window.

Note
  • Even if you select the paths in the Offline(E) status in the Path Management window and click the Online button, some paths may not be placed online. In this case, use the Path Management window to change those paths from the Offline(E) status to the Offline(C) status. Then, place the paths online. The system automatically checks whether the target paths are available, puts available paths into the Online status, and puts unavailable paths into the Offline(E) status. The paths in the Offline(E) status have not recovered from an error yet. Take corrective action for the error, and then use the Path Management window to place the paths online again.
  • If path errors occur on all of the paths, and some or all of the paths are recognized by Windows, disk numbers might then be changed from the ones that were assigned when the host started. If this happens, restarting the host will cause the disk numbers to be changed back to the ones that were assigned when the host started . After the disk numbers have changed back, use Symantec Backup Exec for Windows or the Intelligent Disaster Recovery functionality of Veritas NetBackup.
