After you run the Disconnect External Storage Volumes command, and then power off an external storage system, you cannot access external volumes from the local storage system even if you power on the external storage system again. To access the external storage system again, you must run the Reconnect External Storage Systems command. This process checks whether the defined configuration information of external volumes mapped as local storage volumes matches the status of the external volumes. If external volumes can be used as mapped volumes, I/O operations to the external volumes are accepted, and the volumes can be used again.
- You must have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role to perform this task.
- For details about the Block LDEVs window, see the Provisioning Guide.
