View the output of the powermt display dev=x every=2 command, and

 

 

 

verify that

 

 

 

• The state of the uncabled paths becomes “dead.”

 

 

 

• I/O continues to the remaining path(s) to the LUN, indicating that the

 

 

 

path failover was successful, and PowerPath is working properly.

 

 

 

Reconnect the cable that you disconnected from the HBA.

 

 

 

If you did not follow the above steps exactly and caused any LUNs to

 

 

 

trespass, restore the LUNs to their original SP with the following

 

 

 

PowerPath command:

 

 

 

powermt restore
