    did you check for HBA errors in system?

    check also for port status on SAN switch and all controllers status on DS4300...

    I believe DS4300 is directly connect to P650 server. Probably there is no SAN switch.

    Thanks,

    check for errors in error log - run errpt command.

    if it is directly connected to the DS you should check health of that DS from Storage Manager console.

    I think that defined state could be casued by:

    • broken HBA
    • DS4000 port / controller failure (?)
