B.6.2 Messages displayed when an error occurs during replacement

Error messages may be displayed on the result display screen at the time of completion of mount processing after hot or cold swap. The following error messages are displayed for individual disks on which an error occurred.

Message	Exclude failed.
Explanation	Electrical disconnection processing of a disk failed.
Appropriate action	Check for proper configuration/status of PCI adapter, file unit (file bay) and cable between them.

 

Message	Connection failed during spinup.
Explanation	Electrical mount processing of a disk failed.
Appropriate action	Check for proper configuration/status of PCI adapter, file unit (file bay) and cable between them.

 

Message	Resynchronization copying was failed, or command to display progress was failed.
Explanation	Resynchronization copying failed because of an error after replacement. Alternatively, command execution failed because of a software error.
Appropriate action	This failure could be caused not only by hardware, but also by software related issues. Check disk status on the SynfinityDisk/GDS menu. When you can confirm by the menu that all disks are properly configured and working, you can finish your maintenance work. When the menu shows only newly replaced disk is excluded by GDS, confirm whether the source disk or destination disk is properly installed. In addition to this, check a route to the disks, such as a cable or PCI adapter. You should then reattempt this replacement procedure. If you see any other problem, please consult a manual of SynfinityDisk/GDS.

 

Message	The disks cannot be included in GDS because a disk is in the process of resynchronization copying. (Class:<class>, Disk:<disk>)
Explanation	The specified disk cannot be mounted in GDS because the group to which the disk belongs contains another disk that is subject to resynchronization copying.
Appropriate action	Wait until resynchronization copying is complete, then use the sdxswap command or GUI to include the disk. After the resynchronization copying is complete, perform the same procedures again.

 

Message	The disk cannot be included in GDS because it cannot be recognized correctly. (Class:<class>, Disk:<disk>)
Explanation	The specified device cannot be recognized as a disk drive.
Appropriate action	Check whether power is turned on normally, or check the format of the disk drive. After recovery, use the sdxswap command or the GUI to mount the disk. [Check the connection and formatting status of the disk.]

 

Message	The disk cannot be included in GDS because the disk size is insufficient. (Class:<class>, Disk:<disk>)
Explanation	The specified disk cannot be mounted in GDS because the disk size is too small.
Appropriate action	Use a disk with a size equal to or greater than the original disk used before replacement. After replacement, use the sdxswap command or GUI to mount the disk. [Mount a disk of the same size as or of a size larger than that of the original disk, and perform the procedure again.]

 

Message	The disk cannot be included in GDS. (Class:<class>, Disk:<disk>)
Explanation	The sdxswap -I command terminated abnormally. Alternatively, the specified device could not be found.
Appropriate action	Check the GDS configuration and status based on the console messages, GDS log, and output of the sdxinfo command. After recovery of GDS, use the sdxswap command or the GUI to perform mount processing. [Check the GDS configuration and status.]

 

Message	The disk cannot be excluded from GDS. (Class:<class>, Disk:<disk>)
Explanation	The sdxswap -O command terminated abnormally. Alternatively, the specified device could not be found.
Appropriate action	Check the GDS configuration and status based on the console messages, GDS log, and output of the sdxinfo command. After recovery of GDS, retry the operation. [Check the GDS configuration and status.]
