-1: An error occurred.

If multiple external volumes are specified, 0 returns only when all the commands on all the external volumes are finished successfully. When the checkstatus command is executed, different termination codes will return.

An error (the termination code -1) occurs under the following conditions:

When a command file contains information about an external volume that does not exist.

When the disconnect or checkpath command is executed, the RMI server error (605, 5828) occurs. When the checkstatus command is executed, the error "Unable to use the external volume group" occurs.

When the ExPath tool is executed for a storage system other than an HP XP24000/XP20000 Disk Array.

When the version of the ExPath tool and the version of the storage system microcode do not match.
