The following table lists potential error conditions that might occur during storage system installation on an AIX® host and provides instructions for resolving the conditions. If you cannot resolve an error condition, contact customer support.

Error Condition Recommended Action
The logical devices are not recognized by the system. Make sure that the READY indicator lights on the storage system are ON.

Run cfgmgr to recheck the Fibre Channel for new devices.

Verify that LUNs are configured properly for each TID.

The file system is not mounted after rebooting. Make sure that the system was restarted properly.

Verify that the values listed under Journaled File System are correct.

If a new path is added while an existing path is in I/O processing in alternate path configuration, the status of the added path becomes offline. Run an online operation on the offline path with the Alternate Path software. For details, see the user documentation for the Alternate Path software.
