What Happened to Inaccessible SPA?

If the node was not removed intentionally, hardware or software failure(s) have occurred. The list of suspect components includes:

Use the ServerNet States View to identify all disabled paths in the cluster. Both paths to the affected node are disabled, but are there others? Refer to Repairing the Disabled Path in Disabled Paths Alert Help for troubleshooting guidelines associated with disabled paths.

In addition to the ServerNet States View, the SPA driver (SPAD) messages written to the system console and system log are useful for isolating the failure(s). The NonStop Clusters for SCO UnixWare System Administrator's Guide contains troubleshooting information for each of the ServerNet SAN messages written by the SPAD.
