Non-Compliant Feature

What Caused the Problem?
The Storage Partitions Feature is out of compliance. This normally occurs if an array with Storage Partitions data has been moved into this Storage Subsystem causing the total number of partitions on the Storage Subsystem to exceed 4. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

Recovery Steps
1 Select Configure>>Topology/Storage Partitions in the Subsystem Management Window to display the Storage Partition Definitions Window.
2 Highlight the Storage Subsystem (root) node on the left-side of the screen.

The right-side of the screen displays all the mappings for this Storage Subsystem and also provides a tally of the Partitions allowed and currently used. There are three rules you should be aware of when considering what mappings need to change to reduce the number of partitions to the allowable limit.

Rule 1 Each host group or host that has a specific mapping represents one partition. If there are two or more mappings on the same host group or host, those mappings still represent just one partition.
Rule 2 If a host group has mappings and a host that is part of the host group also has mappings of its own, the host group and host (and their associated mappings) represent two distinct partitions.
Rule 3 The default host group does not constitute one of the partitions.


Caution
Deleting or changing mappings may cause any host attached to the Storage Subsystem to lose visibility of a filesystem mounted on the Storage Subsystem. Make certain I/Os are stopped on the affected logical drives before changing or deleting them.
3 Delete and/or change a mapping one at a time until the number of partitions are reduced to the allowable limit (up to 4). If you change a mapping, either move the mapping to another host group or host that already has mappings, or move it to the default host group. After making the appropriate changes, go to step 4.
4 Select Recheck to rerun the Recovery Guru to ensure that the failure has been fixed.
